We're getting absolutely tons of them :( Certainly well into double
figures, has been for the past three/four days, and today has been
really bad for us too.

A simple filter would be to look at the email address used by the sender
- I believe BadTrans puts a '_' in front of it for some reason??

The other thing is to use a virus scanning package. At work, I use
MessageLabs, which is exceptionally good and (given we run Outlook)
worth every penny.

Cheers,

Alex.
