when you get this kind of "clustering" effect, chances are that
it's a trojan on someone's computer that's actually sending the mails, 
using mail addresses found on the infected computer (address books and 
browser caches are good sources for this).

(so in your cases, it's probably just some poor python-dev reader who 
hasn't updated his virus checker lately...)
