A Fresh Spam Attack

Is anyone else experiencing an unprecedented attack?  I am receiving spam e-mails direct into my Outlook Inbox (therefore by-passing all the PlusNet filters, including Postini and my Outlook spam filter).  At present I am receiving over 30 an hour!
Mainly they are of the "fatal delivery error" type.

The above is an addition to over 70 found in the Squirrel webmail folder, received in the last hour.

It will subside after a few hours.  It's the fault of misconfigured mail servers and thoughtless individuals.

Thanks Barry, I hope you are correct; I have not experienced it before.
