An interesting thing -- as users are infected with Melissa some of the new
documents they create after infection become the carrier and are mailed
out. If you scan for inbound messages, it would be advised to scan for
outbound messages as well. I received a copy of an employee evaluation
from an old client, and considering the poor rating of this guy I'd say
there's a lawsuit in the making as it apparently went not only to me but
to an internal email bulletin board.
