I've been seeing it too (although not in that quantity, perhaps I'm blocking
more at the door?); most of them have been getting deleted by the "too many
upper bit characters" filter. (I have that set to delete anything with more
than 25% such characters, 'cause no one here will be able to read it, so why
bother?)
You could add that character set to the "deny" list, and then set that to
delete the messages.
But if you want a few messages from Russia (there are some people that I
work with there), that's a very bad idea (because they do send messages in
English with that character set).
Most of the ones I've seen appear to be "joe-jobs", bounced from Russian
servers where the actual message has been deleted. Since the faked sender
address hasn't changed much, I think it is a real joe-job rather than a
failed bounce spam.
