Default SWEN Worm Filters That Work

I'm having good success with filtering the SWEN worm garbage
using these filter terms (*letter case and phrases count*):

Filtering for SUBJECT:
Pack, Net Security, Upgrade, Update, Internet, Returned Mail,
User unknown, Returned to Mailer, Critical, failure,
Letter, Advice, Announcement, Message, Latest, Bug, Error,
Notice, Network, Security, Undelivered Mail, Status Notification,
Undeliverable.

Filtering for SENDER:
Microsoft, MS, Internet, network, Net Email, Administrator, Customer,
webservice, Message, Mail Delivery, webbot

So far, it's nailing about 95% of the stuff.
Be sure to check trash before deleting it, since
I was catching one "good" user when I included "ms"
uncapitalized by mistake.

Good luck weathering the storm,
