I was just letting you know that these guys are spamming everyone. I made a spam filter just for them. :) I've received 38 copies of that email in the last 36 hours. everytime i click that send and receive button, i get 4 or 5 more, each from a different person, but with a similar subject and the exact same body.

The emails seem to come from multiple IP addresses so I wonder if they come from a group of enslaved/infected PCs. If someone can figure out a simple way to block these emails without a lot of extra software that would be a big help.
