Word/Exchange Worm

[chuck <chuck@Yerkes.com>]

Be advised.  There is a vicious worm that affects MS-Word and
MS-exchange.  It's being called the "Melissa Virus" (or worm).
Expect CERTs (soon).

The signature is a subject line:
"Subject: Important Message From "(something).

Sendmail can stop this in 8.9.x and Pro by looking at the
subject.  There are performance hits associated with this, but
less that shutting of any exchange servers your sendmail might
be protecting.

There are some rules to fix it linked from:

Specifically, http://www.sendmail.com/blockmelissa.html

Note: Sendmail is not vulnerable to this, Sendmail is blocking
this one.
