Hi guys,

For the last two months or so I have been receiving emails with the
I-Worm/Sobig virus attached about twice a day. My anti-virus sw protects
me well so I am not infected in any way (nor has anybody else here).
Initially, I used to ignore the messages and delete them; after a couple
of weeks I decided to trace the source IP from the mail header and send
complaint messages to the corresponding ISP. But the Bast**d keeps
finding other IP's to mail me from. Messages come from big () boss com. Is
anyone else being targeted? Is this a common occurrence? Am I the only
one?

Yes, actualy my spool gets a few of those mesages but they never make it
any further than that
