233591 2004-05-02 04:11:00 Hi, of late I have been inundated with lots of pesky emails with .pif attachments which are obviously just viruses.

I'm well protected against viruses, but downloading dozens of emails each day just to delete them is a waste of time and bandwidth. Is there some software (or other method) to do a precheck on the email sitting on the server and delete/not download any with .pif attachments and those stupid subjects viruses seem to use?

I wondered if spam software might be appropriate - any ideas/reccomendations?

Thanks.
