Alas, I have yet to find anything that "really" works for me.
I run a software consulting firm. On a fairly regular basis, I will get
either a forward or an attachment of a spam (or virally infected) message
from a legitimate client (potental, current or past)
who will ask "How do I
get rid of these...."
Of course the person does not realize that they are being an idiot doing
this, but if I lose the message, I lose business......
The best I have come up with so far:
1) Auto file (NOT delete) all suspicious messages in a specific folder [I
use Outlook 2003]
2) Run my mail client from within a virtual machine [VMWare] with regular
backups and undoable disks.
Again my situation does NOT match that of most people.....
