i've had 3, so far. they all show as someone from a mac.com address, but the return path is always something ridiculous at Yahoo!, home of the spammers:
Return-path: <[email protected]>
[snip]
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 02:42:30 -0800 (PST)
From: "Glenn Kelsey"@mac.com
i deleted the other two, but the source of one actually said something about the IP possibly being spoofed, or something. (damn me for deleting spam!) all three have been completely empty too.

quite annoying, as i know too many people with a .mac mailbox, so filtering them isn't an option.

this only started a few hours ago. anyone else sharing this today?

So that's what's going on! I got three this morning. I just deleted them.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I got 'em. A couple this morning, and one or two late last night.
I keep the Bible in a pool of blood so that none of its words can affect me.
