What a nightmare. I've been aware of this possibility, but I didn't think it happened that often. Are there any particular characteristics of the outgoing spam and/or viruses? I'd bet that these types of trojans which use existing outlook accounts and send mail through outlook probably tend to fall within a narrow range as far as the actual spam or virus messages that are sent. Do you see a pattern with these? What I'm thinking is that if these fall within a narrow range, then that might make it more wise to scan outbound mail.. but to do so using a limited range of types of scanning to minimize resources... targetting just the types of spams that are being sent by these types of trojans.
