Anette Ahlenius of the Swedish Police's child porn unit said the e-mails are different than those in the past.

She said previous spam would provide a link to a Web site offering the pornography.

The new spam has the pornography in the emails itself.

She said they are trying to trace the spam, a difficult task.

She said there isn't much people could do to stop the porn either as spammers are adept at infiltrating e-mail boxes under various e-mail addresses.
