The "spam" that you are seeing sounds an awful lot like the most recent Bagle.AI variant that is going around.

The best way to stop viruses is to install an anti-virus solution - either on the client end, or integrated into Exchange (ideally both).
I personally prefer Trend Micro's product, but it is all a matter of preference.

To stop spam, you can setup RBLs and if you do a search on Tek-tips here for integrating SpamAssassin with Exchange 2000/2003, you will see a write up I did on how to do that (technically it is probably a link to a write up).

Other than that, like marcs41 so eloquently put it, I'm not sure I am fully understanding the scope of your problem that you want help with.

I put it like that, as I want to avoid all guessing work.
I am not native English speaking myself, but the least someone can do in these forums is to express the question properly.
Like I said, I have no issues with other languages, since I would have issues with me then ;-) , but the going language here is proper English, so everyone can understand.

No problem here - I'm just a stupid American that barely speaks his own language.

Well, like esmit mentioned, you are receiving virus mail.

You will receive them, whatever you do, but you can protect yourself of course.
The fact that you open the e-mails to 'see' is NOT a smart move of course.
Get some Anti-Virus for your Exchange Server FAST!

What is your native language please?
