Errrrr ....
The problem is how to quickly delete this flood of e-mail.
Linux is TOTALLY immune to the virus, although WINE might be able to run
it. Has some either brave or stupid user tried this?
These messages, the ones that I have received, are to variable to use a
message filter on them since the message filters do not read the body of
the message. You need a trainable spam filter for this.
