I believe they're all the result of the "swen" virus. I'd like to see them go away, too. For me, I get three each: the "failure message," the "critical patch from MS notice," and the virus warning from our AV server (we use Trend's scanmail). A real PITA. Over the weekend I had 99 of them hit my mailbox.

Hi all. We are receiving a lot of these bogus messages every day - "bug notice", "failure message", "report", "error advice", "bug announcement", etc. Some of them have a fake Microsoft address in the from line. They seem to be generated by a virus. Our antivirus programs (SurfControl and NAVEX) catch and kill the virus, but the messages still get through. They don't seem to have any consistent subject or From address... It seems that other organizations should be affected too, I am just wondering how others are dealing with these messages. Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
