"i've read your document and attached an updates version with fixes and such" *attachmen: document.zip*

and about 20 or 30 more varients lol

i get them alot too.. but that was a nice attempt, but i knew alot about accepting stupid shit
"+++ Attachment: No Virus found
+++ MessageLabs AntiVirus - www.messagelabs.com" LOL that might fool complete idiots, but when you got a hotmail account, its sort of a stupid thing to attempt to send this stuff

I recieve +-30 emails like that per day on my msgplus email... It took a while to teach the spamfilter to reconize all the tons of variants of it 

I receive this too, but i wonder how these are sent. Are they sent from infected users or somethin like that?

Programs search the internet for e-mailadresses and use the ones they found to fill in the "From"-line. So if an e-mailadress attacked by the virus doesn't exist or an account is full you often get a error e-mail back with the e-mail in it (and so the virus too)

Depends, in most (decent) emailclients you need to "teach" the spamfilters. So, I've done that and by now  the filter is pritty accurate (only 1 or 2 mails out of +-30 aren't reconized)...

Every time you tag a mail as being spam, the filter gets better and betterin my mailclient; The big annoyence with this virus is that it has so many variants and texts that it sends, so the inteligent automatic filters (the ones you need to teach) take a relative long time in reconizing all these... (a normal standard spammail can be reconized 100% correct after tagging a couple of the same spammails)

All this of course on clientside, it would be much better if there was a spamchecker/filter and virusfilter on the mailserver so you didn't get these in the first place.... but then again I like to know what is being send to my mailaccount, even if it is spam...

SpamAssins blocks almost everything (I get more than 200 spam every day), I recommended it for all of you
