I cannot beleive the replies you people posted to this.......I work
in a school and until we quarantined blank subject lines the
"clickers" went nuts and brought in all manner of stuff. Now we have
cut that down 30% by stopping the blanks from getting right through.
So go ahead and tell me - with my 25 years experience - that I am
wrong or falling for a hoax. Go ahead.........................

So, take all of your smug replies and stick them....this is why
"regular" people think we are jerks, because you all act like 14 year
olds!

Stuff and nonsense. I am personally acquainted with many 14-year-olds and
they are all significantly more sophisticated than I am.

Please post a link to a reputable antivirus vendor/researcher's page that
includes information on mail-borne viruses sent via a blank subject line
method/payload; I'd be very interested in this.

You need Exchange-aware antivirus software to keep viruses out of your
system, period.
You also need to block specific attachment types.
I don't know what "brought in all manner of stuff" actually means, but I'd
sure hope your users don't have local admin rights, and I'd hope you have
workstation & server antivirus software running resident, and firewalls.

If one of my client's absent-minded customers were to accidentally send a
message with a blank subject line, I'd sure want it to go through.

You DEFINITELY want to quarantine blank subject lines - one of
the quickest ways to a viral attack.

? That's what mail-aware antivirus software is for. A blank
subject line in itself does not give you a virus.


Unless its the "Blank Subject Line" virus.

Forward this to all your friends!!!!


CNN said its the worst ever. Fox blamed it on the Dems.

You misspelled "Faux."
