Hello Wayne -

WC> More impactical than sending millions of file attachments

WC> payload that installs an executable, adds a register key,
WC> it's own SMTP and incorporates any address books it finds

WC> in their book has this trojan I can get 30 copies at over
WC> three meg instead of the zero to two copies of late. When
WC> at it's worst the trojan was triggering notification my
WC> server ten meg allotment was being exceeded in three days!. 

Some day I will spot the commonality in all this, it's
something I'm quite good at with enough information. :-) 

I know this annoys people a bit but I really ever have these
problems. 

I get spam but since removing my _real_ email address from my
browsers and putting a graphic of my email address at my
webpages it's dropped to 33% of what I _was_ getting. Problem
now seems that once these groups get you into a list they
_never_ remove you. I've had the same hotmail address for many
years now therefore my address exists in many spam listings. :-\ 

Virus and worms just don't show up here. I suspect that is
because I don't send out HTML emails. I think the 'signature'
for these is an html email denoting a probable Outlook user who
is vulnerable? I'm guessing that Outlook users who turned off
the duplicate html email attachment would reduce their exposure
considerably.
