I don't know.
The same thing has happened to me. Getting about 50 per day myself.
I highly doubt anyone has put my email address in their address book.
If we are not in anyone's address book, then how would this virus
know of our email addresses that we only use for debian-user?
This virus must pluck our email addresses of the archive or something....
