Looking at my disk stats, my mail storage spool has grown by 15% in the past week not due the deluge of viruses which I can block and reject, but in large part to those idiotic "Hi, I am sorry in a happy idiotic way to inform you that the message you sent has a virus" messages.... As almost all of them forge their email address, what is the point of warning the "sender." Even better, I wake up this am to 285 (and growing) messages below telling me that someone at skynet is trying to send me a virus message and it cc's 64 other people. Nice.
