I have started to get a small amount of spam that appear to be in German,
and what spurs me to write this message is that I have just received a copy
of one (timed at 22.13) from addressed to
. Perhaps other readers have
received the same message.


Yes, I received it as well; not surprising given my address is in the "To:"
line. I guess others are in the bcc line, such as you.

All the mails I have received the last two days (when I first began to get
them) all just have links to web pages in Germany.

I heard they contain links to Neo-nazi crap.

A report on the BBC website identifies the problem - not that I actually
clicked on the URL offered in the spam, but it would seem to be the same
one:
