They are mainly the sobig.F worm.  We were getting several hundred a day
until we add the following to our ignorelist:

subject Re: Thank you!
subject Thank you!
subject Re: Details
subject Re: Re: My details
subject Re: Approved
subject Re: Your application
subject Re: Wicked screensaver
subject Re: That movie
subject Your details

Source:

I doubt we will ever get any legitimate e-mail with any of those subject
lines, so I just silently discard them all...
