Maybe a new virus

Add to that another message, 15K of size, posing as a returned-to-sender e-mail notice. Don't open
it.
Btw, those of you with IE / OE 5.5, you're at risk because without the proper patch, OE opens up
those attachments. I've read it on some Microsoft TechNet bulletin. If you've kept your computer
updated with Windows Update, then don't worry.

I am using Eudora as the Email application, and I too am bombarded
with these. The problem is that they fill up the mail server, and
soon enough they clogg it.

It is very difficult to filter them since the "SUBJECT" and the "FROM"
lines change randomly and frequently use new words and new
combinations of words.

One technique which has been partially sucesfull in Eudora is to allow
the application to downolad only messages that are less than 30K in
size or so. It works, but one still has to delete these dozens of
messages manually.

I have also applied Norton and Eudora's filtreation, but started to
"loose" real messages too...

SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO STOP THIS !!!!!

Even though my AV picks 'em up with no trouble, I'm glad that I got Mail
Washer some time back. I can screen all my mail before it gets to me at
all.
