Of late (the past 2 weeks) I have been recieving virus emails with 40kb attachements to my AU phone email address.

has anybody else been getting these? Just checking to see if it is just me or if others are experiencing the same thing?

My AU phone email address has a nearly impossible to randomly generate address --- I have not had any AU spam in months.

1st:Be merciless about erasing-without-opening any email with a weird heading and address.
2nd: If that doen't work, set the email options of your AU keitai to accept email from "registered" addresses.

I used to get them all the time but the viruses were coming from the same kind of addresses that would normally bombard your pc/web accounts - I believe I started getting them when my dad threw my keitai-email address onto one of his mass emailing funny pic / oh-so-hilarious joke lists... :roll:
