I've used Pop3ScanMail in Windows to take care of rogue emails that
wouldn't download properly for others, but have just telnetted to the pop
server since using Linux for the odd occasion it's been required. I use
KMail which has pop filters which could do this for me, but I'm filtering
my mail through a SpamBayes proxy, so I haven't used them. Not sure if
they'd work through the proxy.

I've seen comments from some of the AS/400 lists I'm on about getting
floods of the things, but their AV systems seem to be dealing with it.

Count at 231 & rising :(
