I'm trying to figure out what spamassassin has to do with this.  Any 
mail addresses you find in a Klez originated message, except yours, has 
been spoofed by the virus so adding these addresses to a blacklist will 
do nothing except possibly blacklist your friends, neighbors, and other 
innocent victims.  

Am I missing something?
