I am getting them as well, up to 1000 per day, at least I can use my ISP's
webmail email server to delete the emails at that point before they are
downloaded to my PC. Although I am quite sure these darned emails are
flooding email servers around the world, cluttering them up.......

what mail program to u suggest outside of outlook??



I recomend mozilla. Free download and works identical for all purposes
except it's not a virus magnet. Even has an import utility which after you
use and find everything working I would UNINSTALL outlook express
altogether. BTW after you use the web browser, you might give up on IE as
well! It's a shame you can't uninstall IE as well but MS made sure you
couldn't do that..

If I am tired now, why do I have to RETIRE later?

I am getting the same thing, I have a mail forwarding service from the
people that I bought my Domain Name from and they are catching about 15 or
20 per day and sending me a message that they caught the Worm before it got
to me.
Must be a world wide attack.

And I was feeling sorry for myself because I was getting a couple of hundred
a day...:-))....Today was better, only received 50 !!!

BMC

Norton anti-virus picked up every bad e-mail and it told me what it was.
Cable told me I had a virus and go to the norton site and get the fix.
I got the fix (a few of them in fact) and ran them many times.
It reported there was *NO* virus of that type on my system.
The answer (as far as I know) that my netscape somehow got corrupt.
I uninstalled it and installed Netscape 7.1.
Problem solved!!!
Cable with all their help did not help!

I have a router with a hardware firewall and am using zonealarm pro.
When any e-mail goes out or comes in

to this computer norton scans it. I was using Netscape 4.79, and
liked it. After I uninstalled 4.79 and installed
netscape 7.1 ALL problems were gone!!! Have NOT seen any bogus
e-mails since

Just my .02 cents

how do you get them to go to the deleted box? i try creating rules and

Unless you can block attachments over X amount at the server end, it's
useless as it will fill up your box on their server in no time. You need
to
BITCH to your ISP and if they say there is nothing they can do, get
another
ISP. My ISP (bellsouth.net) has blocked all of this crap so far.

I guess you could set up a mail reader to download mail every few minutes
and delete any mail with attachments over 125K. You might miss a little
stuff but at least you won't have to deal with manually deleting
everything. Again write some hate mail to MS as this is THEIR FAULT for
making such an insecure by default OS.
