You think this is bad? I'm getting a message every 2 days or so with a
200K+ attachment in base 64 (which I can't read). It says something
like:
"Hi. How are you? I'm sending this file for your comments.
Thanks.
See you later."
And he does - about 6 times now. It's always from a different address so
I can't filter it in any way.
Anyone had anything like this?
