You think this is bad? I'm getting a message every 2 days or so with a 200K+ attachment in base 64 (which I can't read). It says something like: "Hi. How are you? I'm sending this file for your comments. Thanks. See you later." And he does - about 6 times now. It's always from a different address so I can't filter it in any way. Anyone had anything like this?
