Hi,
My ISP filters out email with virus attachments, and evaluates email to determine if they are SPAM or not.
Email with a virus attachment just gets deleted at the ISP level and I never see it.
All incoming emails are evaluated against a number of SPAM criteria and given a numeric score. Email below a certain score are passed through normally, those above the target score, the "email subject" is prefixed with the word "spam", and I redirect that to a different folder than my inbox.
I review the spam just to make sure the filter is perfoming, and so far it catches 99% of all spam. It works very well. In time, instead of prefixing the subject line and me reviewing it, I will instruct the ISP to just delete it. The ISP asks that you review the spam filter for 60-90 days, just to be sure it is not tagging mail you want incorrectly as spam.
Later,
Tom
