How do I stop this BS?
You don't stop it. It is from an infected computer. I use mailscanner and it catches them. I was getting maybe one a day. In the last week it had jumped to a half dozen or more a day. Klez is still the largest I receive. I still get up to 20 a day of them and a few Lentin. <Thanks Steve for the mailscanner pkg>
