I've seen this many times. My response is "don't get viruses or trojans".
This suggestion is like telling someone to put a white sheet on the floor when they play with knives so they'll see the blood sooner if they get cut. Just don't play with knives.. just don't get Email trojans or worms in the first place. As postmasters, I think it's our challenge and honor to be ones who sterilize Email traffic and keep the Internet Email system working for everyone as the magnificent tool that it is. I use qmail-scanner... and know I'm alone on that here. But everyone on this list should do SOMETHING, declude and F-prot, or IMgate, or something to stop infected traffic at the server level. Then users won't have to worry about fake address book entries to maybe let them know they've been infected sometimes. BTW, trojan traffic has significantly slowed for us. We're processing about 10,000 messages an hour. The antivirus scanner checks both in and outgoing traffic. A few months ago, it was rejecting 100s of items, some days 1000s. But lately here it's been a dozen or two a day. So, I think the good guys are winning.
