Help! Is this an attack or a virus? Qmail on FBSD is flooding

I could imagine someone doing that by hand. My sister sometimes does
that with inspirational stories, but similarly minded people might want
to share a jpg. 

But that's exactly what some of the currently popular virii do. I think
you'd be justified in grabbing the .jpg and looking inside to
see if it's really a .exe masquerading as a .jpg. Privacy has to have
limits.

Had a friend who's wife had picked up several of those. He was sure glad
enough that I let him know about it.
