I was getting about twenty every 15 minutes or so for a while but it seems
to be abatting - I'm not getting anywhere near that many now. At one point
I logged in the next morning (about 8 hours) and had 150 messages with
about 10 meg of space used - almost all this virus.

There's a virus and it's variants going around that produces these

that
purport to be from MS and things like mail returned. If someone is
really stupid they can run the exe that's attached and help spread it

Just curious Brett, but I know you have had a long time presence and was
wondering how many of these bogus emails you are filtering an hour? I have
had one email address for well over 10 years, and a couple others for a
long time and am getting 50-60 every 10-15 minutes today. The volume is
getting much worse since it started last Thursday.
