I mentioned this morning that I've been getting a lot of this stuff directly
(visibly addressed only to me), claiming to come from people on python-dev
(past and present, from Vladimir Marangozov to Guido -- and even some
claiming to come from me!).  None have been spam so far, they've all been
lame Windows viruses, mostly hiding in .cpl files (Windows Control Panel
Extension).

I traced one claiming to come from you to an ISP in Kenya.  At least that
was creative!
