I've been hit hard with e-mails from the latest Blaster worm, So I've
created an Applescript (blasterblaster) that works with Mail to
alleviate the problem. This Applescript takes a somewhat heavy-handed
approach -- it simply checks the body of the message for references to
Windows executables -- .exe, .scr, .pif and .bat. If found, it flags
the message as junk and puts it in the Junk folder.
The spam filter in my copy of mail.app is now catching 99+% of them. I
have it set to delete the mail rather than put it in the junk folder;
delete in a mail rule removes the message completely, and does not put
it in the trash folder.

unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --Teddy Roosevelt
