This list accounts for about 10% of the total spam I receive (which is a 
lot) and there has been a general uptick in spam since the beginning of 
the week.  I think there is a new Windows virus or botnet in the wild 
since most of it is coming from residential ISPs.

Spamprobe catches it, but I still need to browse that daily to make sure 
there are no false positives.  I would vote for tightening the 
protections here.

Cheers,
Dan
