Phil Thanks for the reply. I have already done the trace, and did not get a very co-operative reply from the ISP which incidently is a .au ISP.
I have had about 100+ attempts so far today only, and each one means a reply to this user and then an obvious send/reply to that as it does not exist. I can open the actual email (thanks to Linux) and that is how I know it is an email intended for the "Tight-List" by the address on the email. Thanks anyway, I'm more worried that Ross who may be unaware that he has the virus. Rgds Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "H.
