spamming thats using Andrew and cocoon
Hi folks,
I keep getting an email with an attachment that claims to be from Andrew to Cocoon-dev. Anybody else getting this? If you find out the address of the bastard doing this is in my corner of the world, I'm willing to go thump some sense into it's head.
Here are the details:

There are lots of spam flying around with fake from addresses
@apache.org (among others) these days. And they're usually sent from
various infected computers, so there's not much than can be done about
it, except getting decent spam filters. I use spamassassin server-side,
combined with osx mail client's spam filter, with good results.

FYI, spamassassin does not block the pretended Andrew mail. I am using
spamassassin too + some blacklists, even the so controversial spamcop one
no one of these server-side filters block it.
And BTW, It is not spam. It is a virus. If you see carefully there is an
attach. In my case the mail is about 90kB cca. Of course, I am not afraid,
cuz I use Linux :-D
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo
