How do you stop it short of putting a block on all incoming mail?

Got AV filters on my server, problem with that is it quarantines everything, and that will fill up at the rate this is going. A guy just told me that I need a rest. I agree with him. But now I'm obsessed, and this is like some strange Twighlight Zone weird bizarre shit and it's almost funny.

Yeah, you rite. Rust never sleeps, and so it goes in the Big Easy...especially when dealing with sucky Microsoft crap.

"How do you stop it short of putting a block on all incoming mail?"

Don't use "Lookout!" Get Mozilla...

http://www.mozilla.org

Other mail readers aren't compatible with the worm. Readers like Mozilla just stare stupidly at the worm without a clue as to how to run it. No run, no worm, no worries. I'm sure that other mail readers are just as incompatible with these MS worms. I happen to like Mozilla for it's anti-spam feature. It can be taught what is and isn't spam. It then moves spam off to a junk folder and deletes it after X days. (This feature has caught roughly 300 spam messages on our account over the past 7 days!)

Of course, a more radical approach is to stop using that one particularly worm-compatible operating system from the "Land of rain and espresso".
