What would be the best way (i know best is subjective) to block a message like the one below ?

Would adding microsoft.com to my SPAMDOMAINS file work ??

No, that wouldn't work -- the E-mail was sent with a return address of <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]


However, this one appears to be a virus --

Received: from av3.stonline.sk [213.81.152.34] by updatenyc.com with ESMTP
(SMTPD32-8.04) id A1CA33F0062; Tue, 18 Nov 2003 03:01:14 -0500

It looks like it came from a "good" mailserver that received it from a dialup client, and:


Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 08:57:50 +0100 (MET)
Date-warning: Date header was inserted by smtp1.stonline.sk

It was originally missing a Date: header (thank smtp1.stonline.sk for "fixing up" the E-mail to make it less likely to be blocked!).


From: Microsoft Corporation Network Security Center <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Network Security Update
To: Commercial User <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

... and uses virus-like From:/Subject:/To: headers.


Message-id: <<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Good old stonline.sk -- had they not altered the headers, this E-mail would have failed both the BADHEADERS and SPAMHEADERS tests.
