I have recently converted our site to a .com from a .us domain (still
maintain the old one), but I have noticed a huge increase in spam type
messages that also appear to be virus like in that they have auto executing
attachments.

My Exchange AV software (trend) is catching the virus half, but I can't
figure out how the messages are getting though in the first place since the
addresses are clearly bogus.  Some are claiming to come from
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but the header says rly-ip01.mx.aol.com and that seems
to have bounced from another aol.com address.

I have the blacklists enabled on my GBFlash and have disabled all relaying
capabilities on all of my servers.  Is this just something I should expect
for having a .com website that is getting searched more heavily?  Most of
these messages are directed to addresses that are displayed on the web site
in some capacity.

Is there a way to have GB block this type of message?  The exchange
ResolveP2 has even made a copy of the messages appear to have been sent by
"Webmaster" at my site by the sender buggering up the display address to
just show Webmaster.  Exchange then resolves that incorrectly and displays
My webmaster accounts display name.

Anyone able to offer suggestions?
