I don't know what's going on, but I've been getting literally hundreds of virus/worm-looking emails per hour all day today. I grew tired of it and wrote the following Sieve script to filter my mail on the server.
The pseudo-bounce messages were particularly annoying; they're close enough
to the real bounce messages that I *want* to keep that they justified a
little closer examination. I'll probably tighten the other message type to
also examine the sender, but I doubt I'll be getting any legitimate mails
that look like:
Subject: latest security patch
in the near future. Anyway, enjoy as you see fit.
