Comeback of mp3 Spam

Spammers have decided to dig up from the naftaline a trick they used over two years ago. Instead of easily detectable subjects and message contents just a small mp3 file has been attached to the spam message. A few seconds long mp3 file contains voice promoting Viagra pills and advertising site address that leads to infamous Canadian pharmacy sites.
