That's not spam.  That's Swen worms.  Your ISP could filter it (but

There is no point in making such suggestions here.  Those who manage this

BTW Swen is probably getting our addresses mostly from the mail->news
gateway and from the address books of infected users.  Spammers scrape the
Web but Swen doesn't.
