I get a couple a day.

It's the SWEN virus (both the Microsoft-looking offers and the
"bounces"). There's typically a 150K attachment -- if your messages
have the attachment then it's SWEN that you're receiving.

The messages aren't going to stop as long as there are machines that
keep relaying it.

I filter them. If you want my filter let me know.
