A good approach that I've been using for a few years is to limit the size of email that you d/l to under 4K. You'll know it's spam, just won't know if it's a virus since not enough comes down to set off the AV scanner.

Caveat is wanted email w/ more than 4096 characters has to be d/l OTF.

Hey all,
Just in the past few days, I have gotten probably 100 emails that look
similar with many of them containing viruses. My email address is not in
the to: list. How do I get them if I am not in the to: list? Anyone else
getting these lately? There are about 4-5 variants of this email. This one has a subject of
'Mailing error.' Some talk about a registration code, etc.


I have included the headers from the original email, followed by the actual
email after my sig.
