We have also experienced that on our server. Except in our case the email address is not preceded by a space, but an underscore. If you examine your email carefully you will notice that there actually is an attachment as well, an attachment with double extensions (for example "fun.MP3.pif"). I have not looked more closely at the attachments, but I guess it is the worm Badtrans <http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/badtrs_b.shtml>. >Can't find how to stop that in the router, and of course, no way to >block their >IP-addresses since most of them are dial-up accounts. You can't stop it in the router. :-( The senders are regular users' machines that are infected and it would not do any good to blacklist them. The only thing you can do is to make sure that all your email clients are running the latest antivirus updates on their machines, and if they have Windows also have applied all security patches available.
