W32.BEAGLE.x (where x = spawn version). VERY annoying - if you can, add
to your blacklist:
support at yourorg.zzz
administration at yourorg.zzz
management at yourorg.zzz
noreply at yourorg.zzz
staff at yourorg.zzz
This will take out a number of them. The most annoying version, which
has gotten me calls from people outside my organization is the version
where if a person is infected, the virus picks a RANDOM name from the
address book and sends ou SPAM/Viruses from that contact. As a result,
you get calls like "I don't know anyone in your organization and I am
not a spammer"....(my spam filter sends a nice note back to the spammer)
Hope this is not redundant info!

What is this current MS virus that purports to be a notification about
a mail account problem or something similar? I get dozens of them a day
that slip past the postfix filters. This has been going on for several
weeks now and this surprises me.
Anyone?
