Hi,

I use OE and have Norton Anti-Virus scanning all my incoming mail.
Usually, I get 5-6 virus-infected mails a day, which Norton deletes.
However, I have started getting hundreds today for some reason. I get
5 or new ones every every minute. My inbox is cluttered with the, and
they all have the same text in the body "Please see attached file for
details" or "See attached file for details". It's becoming extremely
difficult for me, not because of a virus infection, but because my
server keeps getting full and it's a hassle dealing with this junk. I
tried to put up a message rule in Outlook Express saying "If message
body contains 'Please see attached file for details' then delete from
server". However, this does not seem to work and they still get
downloaded. Why is that????
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

I though NAV has a setting that toggles quarantine/delete but I'm not sure.

Server-side antivirus would help you I think.
What's your ISP?  And do you use POP?  IMAP?

Norton silently deletes the virus, but the e-mail still shows up in
the Inbox.

My ISP is Rogers (rogers.com). I called them up but the techie didn't
seem to know anything. I use POP.

Any help would be appreciated and I'll leave a generous tip for the
person who solves my problem ASAP.
