Well with the large DDOS attacks going on at the moment, wouldn't surprise me if those same systems are being used as a mass spam platform.

Yeah, I've noticed increase of spam coming to my otherwise relativity clean inbox (@clear.net.nz).

Oh just a heads up. VF is aware of this and is taking steps. It was hitting some catchall addresses that route to my staff address so I got a bunch of it myself.
