Sometimes 'off-topic' has unexpected consequences...

Thanks to those who started and finished the above mentioned thread.
We never picked up on the repeating subjects and didn't realize that
the messages were viral generated. Due to your discussion and the
pointer to Symantec's warning we were able to write a filter that is
now protecting about 12,000 e-mail addresses.

Thanks from Eastern Oregon Net, Inc. and it's customers.
