Can't we just hack the mailman configs to dump mails with X-sender value
of outlook or outlook express? That would solve the problem, no;)

I should be so lucky. I'm averaging almost that many AV-scanner alerts

to me an *hour*. And inbound Sobig-F are above 1 per minute.
I still say we should have put this in the "security considerations" in
RFC1341:
"If you think you know how to secure active objects in e-mail, you are
probably very mistaken. There be serious and nasty dragons here."
(with apologies to the authors of 'xterm').
On the other hand, maybe we didn't do THAT badly - I can only think of one
vendor that really didn't pay attention....
