I am watching the mail servers here and our trapper is catching a LOT of this... thousands upon thousands of messages.

If you don't have anti virus software, for gods sake gets some:

DON'T open attachments from people you don't know. Especially those pretending to be from Microsoft!

Also patch your systems:

If you're running Unix, Linux or Mac OS then you can breathe easy. If you're running Winbloze then its time you get cracking.

If you're running Linux or Unix then you should double check that your versions of sendmail and openssh don't need updating too....

yeah this **** is being sent to my hotmail account liek crazy. I save them to send to people I don't like.

I just rework them to make them look a bit more real.

Well this new one looks pretty convincing as a security alert at a glance. If I were a luser I'd prolly install it.

Then there's the bounced delivery one, that looks almost like a regular delivery failure too.

I never got that. Why do people look up when someone yells something like that? You think they would duck
