Getting hammered by spam virus :-(

well,
I use kmail here. I just download them and let it dispose of them. btw, thats
Gibe.C.1` thats infecting e-mails (at least according to hbedv.com and their
info page).

there isn't a lot that can be done other than looking in the headers and
sending a form letter to the admins at the ISP's that own the IP (usually the
third "received from" line is the origination). BTW, I did plu PLUG to a
hotel in texas that was infected with this bug. even walked them through a
cleanup using the antivir package from free-av.com (comes in flavors for
windows, unix and linux).. now I just wish I could get paid for some of this
work....
