Then what's the Klez worm doing? Ever day I get a few dozen emails that purport to be from me, and rather a number of emails that claim to be from someone else. The obvious outcome is that somebody is going to put my email address into a "kill klez traffic" filter, meaning that I can no longer communicate with them. Klez is in essence a dictionary attack on my (and many others) ability to communicate with people using email.
