emails with virus attachments saying from microsoft.

[jeff]

I used this newsgroup a month ago and have been getting
50 emails a day saying from microsoft with a virus
attachment. I know it is not from microsoft but how can
I stop them?

Best regards.

I'm getting about ten an hour now, Jeff, so you're not doing so badly. I
just made a rule to delete all messages with attachments that aren't from
people in my contact list. Works well enough for me.

P.S. It's rediculous that Outlook will block unsafe attachments, but doesn't
provide any kind of rule to handle the messages that contain them. Phooey.
