New breed of spam?
Anyone else getting lots of "CNN Alerts" spam mail? Basically, seems someone has used a CNN Alert email template and inserted spam links. Fastmail and Tuffmail are seeing at as non-spam at the moment?

I've not received any with my fastmail account, but at work (I work for a state agency), we received a heads-up email from our IT department that there are a lot of these starting to be sent out.......

Yes, I've been getting those for a few days now. Gmail's filter is recognizing them as spam.
