[TriLUG] REQUEST: Spam notifications

I have received dozens of emails over the last several months of varying 
kinds of spam; particularly:

1. several of the variety "I'm <name>, want to meet hot girls to 
<something or other>"
2. several of the variety "I'm <name> and hacked your Windows PC, 
screenshot your nasty porn fetish and want <X> bitcoin to keep it secret"

Some of those I get multiple copies of per day.  In most cases, I simply 
delete them as junk, but one email of the bitcoin extortion variety 
contained a password (plaintext) that I have in fact used in the past, and 
is unique to me.  I saved that one, in case anyone on the Steering 
Committee wants to take a look....
