There have been parallel reports of exactly the same email from other hermes users. If you've been hit, please tag so we'll know how widespread this contagion is :P
Oh me oh my! I hope the university computing service does something about this soon!

Eh? Is this a quote from the e-mail, or a statement. If the latter, how are you going to 'tag' it - as far as I know there is no method for reporting spam back to the UCS (it may be possible to report information back to a non-cambridge server, which eventually may be useful).

The UCS has blacklisting, whitelisting and SpamAssassin which is regularly updated. This catches almost all spam. Obviously some spam will not be recognised, but this can't be avoided (also, you don't state what filtering you have, what spamassassin rating this was given (view full headers, X-Cam-SpamDetails: ...). It might have been just not quite big enough to be above the filter.

it's a statement. My friend received exactly the same spam. The word tag refers to commenting on the tagboard. I just wanted to do my own little survey of how rampent the spam is.
some people have spam will travel
