I've gotten a couple of hundred today, not to mention a couple of

You got a couple of them? I'm getting one per minute. I went out to

I had 2000 in 24 hours before I set up Outlook to trash them from the mail
server.

Get Mail Siphon (software) - you can delete them right off the server
without ever dowloading them to an email program.

Guys,

When Microsoft sends out a security advisory, it NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
contains attachments, but it does contain URLs or other ID
information. They (correctly) want you to go to their web site to
download the patch.

Of course, if someone mounted a Denial-of-Service attack on Microsoft
and at the same time put up a phony site and munged the DNS tables,
then you could be downloading a phony patch.

Too bad MS doesn't sign their files yet. (Did you hear the one where
VeriSign let someone who was posting as an MS employee reset
registration information or do something else evil? It was caught
eventually, but VeriSign was at fault for not validating the phone
request. Big, big boo-boo.
