This situation may be one of the cases where using a SPAM fighting
program makes sense.............by using a SPAM program that reads
mail on the server, you can delete such trash before it's delivered to
your mail program. Even if you don't use a SPAM fighting program,
make a filter to delete it as soon as it's received. It's better than
nothing <G>

| Intelligence on SPAM and viruses
|
|
| | From the Kim Komando List:
| |
|
| --> GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE WARNINGS ON VIRUSES
| Internet attacks have become so serious that the government has
| started issuing e-mail warnings. Its first warning went out for
| MyDoom. You can sign up for the warnings at:
|
| http://www.us-cert.gov/index.html
|
|
| Additionally, many people have been having problems with mail
| getting "stopped" or "jammed" on there ISPs. I had two
| instances in the past three days. Investigation determined that
| a SPAMer was sending a SPAM message for a resort location (same
| SPAM message both times). The header of this SPAM had hundreds
| and hundreds of e-mail addresses in it to try to spoof the real
| sender. There were so many addresses in the "from" and "To" of
| the e-mail, that I was unable to get to it even using programs
| that read the mail on the server rather than downloading it
| (SPAM removal programs, and the "server" function in Poco). I
| finally called my ISP and got it deleted, and a filter put in
| place at the ISP level. They were able to determine that actual
| source as:
|
| mailbox.co.za
|
|
| I would strongly recommend that you make filters in any SPAM or
| e-mail programs you use that block that domain. Have the
| filters delete the message from the server.
