Parker,

I've been having great luck with a filter subscript
that I found a couple weeks ago on another list, but
it's made for use with 'procmail' (Linux, OS/2, etc).
   (not sure if there is a version for WinDohs)

It's been stripping off those messages that have the
worm in them and dropping them into another file, which
has been averaging about a half meg a day (before delete).
I could just as easily direct the messages to a 'null'
device and have them go into the 'bottomless bit-bucket' :)
(but I guess I'm geting some sick perverse chuckle out
of looking through the file with a text editor, at these
people that keep sending it (eg cherco.com) that continue
to insist they are NOT infected :)

If anyone here is running procmail as their mail sorter,
drop me a line and I'll email you the filter.  It's not
dependant on the 'sender' but rather on the content of
the message and the attachments.
