I see that the newsgroups have been hit again by the 'iwantsex' spam.
Is it possible that one of us out here is unknowingly causing this to happen?
That is, by posting something to the newsgroups, are we infecting the
newsgroups in some way, due to a virus that one of our systems might have?

Very unlikely.
This particular spammer shows up on other news servers I visit.

Whew! That's a relief. Now I can go back to looking at all those dangerous,
virus-ridden porn sites. :-P
Microsoft issued a report several days ago saying that something like 97% (!) of
all e-mail traffic is spam-related. That's unbelievably bad!
