Ive been getting the same. Usually about some stock quote. Let me
know if your procmail script works. I wonder if you couldnt have the
message go straight to a quarantine folder? I have all Japanese
messages go to a mailbox /opt/viruses/japanese. It then gets
rotatated and compressed via cron every sunday. Hopefully someone has
an answer.
