Until they upgrade SMTP with a "slap" button, there is little you can do
 but sigh and complain (and delete).
I know this forum has asked, pleaded and begged for sysop's to not
respond to viruses (virii?). MailScanners defaults are to not respond to
"silent viruses".
But so many executives just think that e-mail is like sending a postal
certified letter, and it must be comming from the address of the sender.
They usually ask for this, because they think they are warning the
sender, but there goes another load of "viral spam"!

RANT RANT rant ran...
I've calmed down now.
Should have taken the blue pill!
