Re: Microsoft "Junk" Mail

[Tomasz Kukielka]

The key to successful filtering these messages is not to check the 
"From" field, but to check "To" field. These messages are never 
addressed to you personally so usually you receive a message to 
"Microsoft Customer" or similar. I have 99% of success when setting up 
a filter with the following rule:

Execute if any criteria are met.
Any To recipient contains:
customer
client
user
consumer
receiver
recipient
undisclosed
partner
Of course if you have an e-mail address with one of these words you 
cannot use it. Caveat: with such rules you may miss some legitimate 
e-mails addressed to you as a "customer" but usually these are mass 
mailings so you do not lose much. I do not delete such messages 
immediately but move to a separate folder and then I scan briefly 
through the list of gathered messages to see for sure if all is junk.

Hope it helps,
Tom

What you are receiving is the Swen virus.  You should just delete 
these messages.  Unfortunately, they are difficult to filter because 
they come from a variety of addresses, are addressed to a variety of 
addresses, and contain no text.  It looks like they contain text, but 
that is actually an object of some sort.
