BLU server and spam

[Derek Atkins]

Klez usually sends mail in html with a real file and then the virus
attached.  Generally it appears to be 1500+ lines of mail.  I was up
to about 50 Klez messages a day!  Once a Klez-filter was put in place,
I'm down to about 15 spam messages per day.  Not too bad, IMHO.
