I doubt that MS is spamming every 4-5 minutes.
Can you include the original mail, complete with headers?

Updates for .NET Messenger Service and contaning ATTENTION: IMMEDIATE
ACTION REQUIRED FOR MSN AND WINDOWS MESSENGER USERS.

You are receiving this e-mail because you are a MSN Messenger or Windows
Messenger Service user.

As part of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative, Microsoft is

Messenger for Mac 3.5, or any versions higher than these, you do NOT
need this security update. To find out which version you have, select

older version, or are not sure, please visit:

for an update. 
NOTICE: If you are not using an updated version, you will be unable to
continue using your MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger Service. 
Thank you for helping Microsoft further its commitment to helping you
protect your privacy and security online. 
You can view the .NET Messenger Statement of Privacy

Thanks
