Hi Again Spence, I share your pain in the heat :o( Alas, still no go with POP3, although thanks for your reply! We block POP3 traffic at firewall level. Any other suggestions? Many thanks for your time, Sian. -----Original Message----- From: Spencer Read (Nemesis) [mailto:ser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 13 July 2005 14:29 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: W32Netsky-B http://www.MSExchange.org/ With regards to the pop3 accounts - I didn't explain myself very well (it is very hot here!) Outlook on my PC has 2 accounts 1 setup to look at the exchange server internally. 1 setup to download mail from our other company's pop3 server (external to my network) and store them in the exchange system, not a PST. I have had bad mail delivered from the pop3 account into the exchange server store and the desktop AV has caught it - this is definitely due to the external mailserver not having AV and anti-spam software! I'm guessing that this is a very bad setup (waiting for the comments!), but I like my mail in 1 place and that's the exchange server! Now I think about this, the user might need local admin priviledges to do that - I have domain admin so I can cause havoc! .....Spence -----Original Message----- From: Sian Clarke [mailto:Sian.Clarke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 13 July 2005 14:07 To: Spencer Read (Nemesis) Cc: [ExchangeList] Subject: RE: [exchangelist] RE: W32Netsky-B Hi Spence Thanks for your reply. No, we don't have any POP3 connectors running, and no, we have no VPN access! Any other ideas?!

My workstation level AV is stopping the virus from running so it's not yet a terrible problem. However I'd like to know how these messages got in. We've SMTP AV scanning at our gateway, and no sign of the message passing through. However the message is residing in the Inbox/ Deleted Items of users mailboxes, with evidence of the unzipped file in Outlook's temporary area. I know this worm will spoof the address of the sender, but surely I should still this spoofed 'From' address in my gateway SMTP logs? If anyone can explain how this may be getting in, I'd be extremely grateful.
