Not yet, but as I said it would be easy to do.

This isn't the kind of thing I'd be comfortable to set up without first
discussing it with the recipients.  For example, I'd want to check that
I won't be causing unnecessary work for any reason.  If you think it's
OK for me to go ahead and submit some samples that way I'll be glad to.

Bear in mind that these are AFAICT purely spam, not viruses, although
I couldn't rule out malicious links and the like.  It's depressing to
trawl through this stuff.  Makes me feel we really should have stayed
in the trees.

Incidentally I seem to be having issues with the @cisco servers again
so I'm leaving that address out of the reply.
