I think that the mail server at my site get rid of some of those messages.
I get about 1/week. More frequent are the "SirCam" virus that infects
Windows/Outlook. Like other viruses it looks in the address book, but
unlike other it also checks the infected computers web cache (with sites
that has been visited) and searches them for mail addresses. Some days I
have got >10 such mails, but the situation has improved to maybe 1 every
other day. I don't know of any way of get rid of them completely.
I think it is just another back side of being a celebrity :-)
