Actually, it is not ALL that surprising, some ISP's may be filtering some of those out and some of the spoofing that the virus does may cause some of the messages to be misidentified as spam by ISP mail servers. Most do at least some rudimentary checking of the From header against the originating domain and if they don't match, the message doesn't get delivered. I am kind of surprised that I didn't see more of these, I don't allow my ISP to do any filtering at all but it is possible that they are just still in the mail chain waiting to be delivered or that some intermediate ISP in the chain saw the traffic and took the spool offline to cleanse it before starting to route mail again. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
