You can have all mine, Rocky.<G>  I've been getting both the HTML
"patch" message and the "rejected mail" message since last week.  Since
Friday, I got over 100 of them, all caught by my antivirus.
Interestingly, the NAV on the Exchange Server caught the "rejected mail"
message viruses all along, but our desktop NAV didn't get updated until
Friday.  Until then, my Outlook security blocked the HTML message
attachment but NAV missed it.

Well, I finally got one. I was beginning to feel left out.

The attachment text reads:

file attachment: patch.exe

This e-mail in its original form contained one or more attached files
that were infected with the W32.Dumaru at mm virus or worm. They have been
removed. For more information on Road Runner's virus filtering
initiative, visit our Help & Member Services pages at

As you can see my ISP (Road Runner) filtered it out for me.  Do your
ISPs do this, generally?

I'm thinking that the ISP is the right place for the anti-virus software
to be running.  Although this would put and end to a huge industry.
