Thanks for the link. Same here with the zillions of worm mails per day, I was already wondering if someone was deliberately mailbombing me. I'm running MailWasher so I just delete them from the mailbox without even downloading them but it's still a pain.

Why can't people protect their computers properly? Don't they even notice that a worm is continually sending e-mails? This could go on forever if the owners/admins of infected systems don't wake up. :-(
