I just got what looks to be a standard spam message from a new Dailykos account, and I thought I'd bring this to the community's attention in case they get similar messages. The spam message came from lovethph, a very new user with an UID of 307088. Here's the spam message that I got through kosmail below:

What can be done to prevent this sort of spam messages from getting through KosMail? I wasn't aware that kosmail could be abused like an e-mail program, and I am a bit disturbed by this. Does this mean there's now a program that was designed to send spam messages through the Dailykos system?
