None of these addresses are known to me ( most seem to originate from Germany and Switzerland) so it is no hardship to me to prevent any more infected mail coming from there. I wish I could block the spam but \*Spamcop \* refuses the handle the message .

When I had this problem, I blocked on the text of the message(s) which solved it. I am using a non-Microsoft, non-Intel system, so there was no chance it originated from me. Not using that stuff is a big relief.

And don’t send anything anywhere - just delete it. Otherwise you are contributing to the problem.
