I was thinking more of email attached files containing malware.

Does anyone have any statistics of the popularity of various malware
attack vectors? (I think we can safely say floppy disks are no longer on

I mean... um... an SMTP message contains the enticement to click on a URL
for 'delivery'.

Isn't SMTP more popular for spreading malware than HTTP?

Well, most malware is transmitted via HTTP, so let's start with
disrupting arbitrary/all HTTP conversations...
