That's StormWorm spawn spew, not stricly speaking spam. Be that as it may
it's actually more dangerous than spam, Clueless Lluser clicks on the
link and are p0wn3d.

Here the botnet plugin prettymuch always fires on those, SURBL/URIBL
pick them up soon after they start, RBLs such as CBL & SpamHaus
usually fire too.

Bottom line, network tests seem to be the best defense.
