YES. MB worth. So many that E-mail drive was filled on Friday.
Just
received five in a five minute period.
Not hard to trap, however they are quite a pain. Have yet to get
ISP to block them.
Good luck. Mac N8TT

my isp is stopping the infected ones, which appears to be most of them..
its
funny though, some get through with an empty attachment. there must be
a
bug in the virus that occasionally attaches an empty file instead of
itself.


Actually my ISP is blocking the actual virus/worms but then the message
itself gets passed on to me with a statement from the ISP that if I want
the
file to contact the sender and arrange another means of getting it.
However, that still is a huge number of emails in my box.

I've tried to trap them but the headers and senders, etc are all
different.
If you have a suggestion on how to stop them, please let us all in on it.

if you can filter by the text in the body use "September 2003, Cumulative
Patch" that should be unique enough to catch them without taking out other
messages. the isp messages should be easy to filter out, i use the phrases
"virus found in received message" and "problem found in received message" to
send them to the deleted folder.
