There's always an SMTP proxy. :)

Don't worry.  It seems to be an international sensation
(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=uUu&q=OBORONA-SPAM&btnG=Search).
  I have to say, though, it seems a pretty stupid spam tagging method.
My ISP/university adds X- email headers which aren't displayed.  It tags
it  with a rating (how likely to be spam) and descriptive tags.  Both
can be fed into Thunderbird, though I use just the rating.  For example,
the header for your email was:

X-GT-Spam-Rating:  (7%)
X-GT-Spam-Details: No antispam rules were triggered by this message
