Since Christmas, I have started receiving LOTS of copies of this spam coming
from everywhere.
SpamCop seems to behave differently now: before,itdidnot detect any link in
the spam, now it says:
"Too many links."
And it does not report the spamvertized hosts, which are apparently all
resolved through DNS to dynamic IP:

Apparently a viral worm is using the christmas period to activate its nefast
behavior to send its spew in mass, undetected by users that have left their
PC active for holidays.
The problem:
I get about 2 or 3 copies per minute, and it is still notdetected by my
antispamfilter, so it fills megabytes in my mailbox. I came back this
evening from 2-day holiday, and saw one of my mailbox filled by several
THOUSANDS copies of this spam, starting at the christmas eve.
