Thanks David, I appreciate that.
I have done some investigating, and found some of the problem.
It's happening on one specific e-mail that keeps 
bombarding one of my reipient addresses with a virus. 

Even though, I don't have a virus filter installed MD is 
finding it, and quarantining it as dangerous (very kewl).

For now, I've blacklisted the from address, as it's always 
the same, but do need to find out the details of this better.

I'll try your suggestions.

Thanks~!
