All,

I apologize for any issues the flood of emails from my account may have caused 
yesterday.  In trying to deal with the persistent, bogus, and virus ridden "critical 
patch" emails I setup a rule that would reply to anyone sending an email with no 
subject and delete the original email.  What I realized is that when you setup a 
Groupwise rule such that IF (subject) equals ( ) DO THIS ..., the ( ) blank translates 
to a wildcard thus any email meets the condition.  To make matters worse on our local 
network, I have "notify when opened" enabled so when my co-workers open an email I 
sent, I get a notice back from them.  So it went like this:

Person A sends me an email.

Condition met, rule replies

Person A opens that email, this sends another email to me

Condition met, rule replies

Person A opens that email, this sends another email to me

Condition met, rule replies

Person A opens that email, this sends another email to me

Condition met, rule replies

aaaaaannnnnd so on.  So again, sorry for the hassle.  James
