Suspicous Emails

[CAB]

I am getting alot of emails for outside my organization
that have the mydoom virus attached. My firewall is
blocking the attachments from reaching my desktop but the
email message is still getting through. Is there any way
to stop those email from coming in? Is there a reason
that those emails are only hitting a few users machines?
Is there something local to the machine that is causing
those users to get those emails? I have ran virus scans
and those machines are clean. My antivirus software is up
to date. I run an exchange 5.5 server for my email if
that will help. I have also noticed that when I reload
one of these desktop machines the emails stop. I reload
XP Pro and put the same users email profile back on the
machine. Any suggestions will help.

That's typical behavior. It's really up to your firewall to send those
messages through (or not) after they are virus free.
What firewall and what AV product are you running on it? ...it may be a
configurable option.

Where are the messages scanned? ..on the firewall or a separate system?
