Dear user gear [at] viper007bond [dot] com, (e-mail address was in true form, but replacing it here so I don't get more spam/viruses)

Your email account was used to send a large amount of spam messages during the recent week. Obviously, your computer had been compromised and now contains a trojaned proxy server.

We recommend that you follow our instruction in the attached file in order to keep your computer safe.

Have a nice day,

I don't know how well this works, but if you run your own email server, and you want to reduce the amount of spam by blocking email servers that allow email relays (which a lot of spammers use), then check out this site: http://www.ordb.org .
