Yeah, I'll vouch for the quality of the multi-threaded SMTP engine, I'm up
over a 500 count right now (3 more while writing that first line). But it
seems to be broken in other areas, I think I'm getting copies from just a
few people. The writer should have added a few checks to spread the joy
around a bit more. I trying to think of somebody I know at MSU :)

Hi Scott,

   >>> Is there some logical explanation why I'm being singled out here?

According to a news article on Sobig.F, the major innovation in this version
is that it is multi-threaded and sends out messages much quicker.  

My Email account is getting hit pretty badly also.  I'm getting 5 to 10
copies of Sobig every hour.

Richard
