I have been trying to track down the source of these mails for ages. 
Apparently, there is a message in some online forum or other which you come 
across if you type "free linux CD" into Google.

Unfortunately, when you ask these folks, invariably they can't remember
just where it was they read about sending mail to this list to get a free
CD. Since quite a few of them appear to be Indian, I suspect the 
message/web page isn't English. Grr, these mails get on my nerves. ;-/
