Is it just me, or is anyone else getting major email attacks? I had

I'm not accusing anybody of spam attacks! Other batches come from
giganews and individual.net, so in fact, it looks as if there's a
problem in Germany somewhere. Turnpike bounces everything
automatically, so I haven't actually looked at any of them - some of
last week's carried viruses, but today's batch are just URL carriers.
Has anyone else had anything like this?

I collect mail via POP3 now (using Turnpike), so I never get to see
these spam floods, thank goodness.
