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).
