I'm having good success with filtering the SWEN worm garbage
using these filter terms (*letter case and phrases count*):

Filtering for SUBJECT:
Pack, Net Security, Upgrade, Update, Internet, Returned Mail,
User unknown, Returned to Mailer, Critical, failure,
Letter, Advice, Announcement, Message, Latest, Bug, Error,
Notice, Network, Security, Undelivered Mail, Status Notification,
Undeliverable.

Filtering for SENDER:
Microsoft, MS, Internet, network, Net Email, Administrator, Customer,
webservice, Message, Mail Delivery, webbot

So far, it's nailing about 95% of the stuff.
Be sure to check trash before deleting it, since
I was catching one "good" user when I included "ms"
uncapitalized by mistake.

Good luck weathering the storm,
Dave Stinson AB5S

I just changed my e-mail address. Dave, what filter are you using?
Earthlink does not allow that kind of filtering, as far as I can tell.

http://webmail.earthlink.net takes you to Earthlink's Webmail access.
Use your full e-mail address and password to log in, and set the
spamblocker to high. It will add a folder called Suspect Email, where
anything that isn't in your on line address book will go. I just click
on it, and delete anything between 140 and 160 KB. I am still getting
over 200 an hour, but I am not wasting the time to download and delete
them. I just leave a page open to Earthlink's Webmail access while I am
on line, and click on delete about every 5 to 10 minutes.
