One of my accounts has been getting completely inundated with the fake
Microsoft Update and "Undeliverable Message" virus attempts...I'm

talking
about a CONTINUOUS STREAM of copies of the same thing over and over.
Fortunately, it's a junk account. The motherfu**er that is spamming me
keeps changing the domain, From line and Subject line so I have to
constantly update my filters to keep up with it. SPAMMERS, DIE!!!


Why don't you learn something about the Internet, and how viruses are
spread, before opening your mouth and showing us all how ignorant you are?

Viruses hijack the user's address book and sends copies of itself to
everybody in it. There is no "motherfu**er" - this is a result of 10,000s
of infected computers.


I suspect that the originators harvested addresses from various newsgroups
and websites to kick it off. I've gotten far more of these than can be
explained by being in other people's address books.
