Not only do I get the original messages, NAV for MS Exchange Server sends me a "deleted attachment" message for each one.
As if that weren't bad enough, my email address was spoofed by the virus. Every mail delivery program on the Internet sends me an "Undeliverable Mail" message when a nonexistent user is sent a message by the virus using my spoofed email address. Some of them check the message, know it's a virus AND SPAM ME WITH A MESSAGE ANYWAY JUST TO SPITE ME! The ones that don't check don't delete the attachment, SO OUR CORPORATE NAV FOR EXCHANGE SERVER SPAMS ME WITH THE "DELETED ATTACHMENT" MESSAGE!
Question: Why are mail server and antivirus programs doing their utmost to compound the problems caused by viruses?
