I got about 150 (or so) messages of that crap the other day, so I downloaded
"Mailwasher". I'm still getting about 100 or so every couple of hours, but
at least I don't have to download the whole lot. Mailwasher filters the crud,
and flags friendly emails.

I'm getting so many that even Mailwasher can't help. My email server
is getting overwhelmed with 14 - 16MB of these in one evening...so my
entire email system is breaking down...sigh...need to find an email
front end that filters at the server...

Gah, Bill Gates...what have you done to deserve all my hours of fixing
problems your operating system is causing...

The virus is harvesting email addresses from newsgroup posts - that is why
posters such as yourself are getting so many messages. You should change
your news reader settings to insert some random text into your mail address,
which is obvious to humans, but makes the address invalid for automated
mailers, such as this virus.
