I have been receiving such messages since about two months. After I wrote one
message to Usenet from the address attached to my website (wenedyk etc.), I
suddenly started to receive many such messages during one day. All claimed to
come from Microsoft, Helpdesk, Returned Msg. etc., and almost all were either
154K or 141K in size. After a week or two, their number faded somewhat. A few
days ago, I receive one on this address (that I never use anywhere else than in
this group + the related Yahoo! groups).
