Sometimes 'off-topic' has unexpected consequences... Thanks to those who started and finished the above mentioned thread. We never picked up on the repeating subjects and didn't realize that the messages were viral generated. Due to your discussion and the pointer to Symantec's warning we were able to write a filter that is now protecting about 12,000 e-mail addresses. Thanks from Eastern Oregon Net, Inc. and it's customers. Jim Arnott Technical Services Eastern Oregon Net, Inc.
