Default SWEN virus/worm now posing as bounced email

I keep stuff on the server and delete it from there, but I have 25M mail
space on the server. At the rate these are coming in that still fills up
twice a day and then stops my legitimate email from getting through, so
still enough manual intervention involved (to constantly keep checking the
server and deleting from there) it would actually be easier almost just to
download them all into my delete folder and kill them from here - which I
have to do for one of my ID's.

But that is the ID I'm registered for usenet under. I never use it for
anything since my ISP does not allow me to mung the address in any way, or
they won't let you post to usenet. Since it's in the clear I never use it
for anything, and KNOW that anything I get to that ID is spam. Well mostly.
Occasionally I've gotten an email from an asdlc'er at that address, even
though I have my replyto field set up with the email address I use for real
people- but that's a rare occasion.

One good thing about this worm is that the "from" ID's and "subjects" seem
to have a relatively limited number of variations, so it's been easy to set
up filters to catch most of them.
