A bit of background relating to that spam. It is a Joe Job against Mark 
Ferguson who is one of the major spam cancelleors who is currently in 
the process of taking a spammer to court. The aim to to get so many 
complaints to him that he gets mailbombed. They are all forge approved 
so there is nothing that moderation can do about them except cancel 
them.
