 I've now received over 3000 of these, each of which has a 106k
 bytes-long worm.  That's 320MB of downloads from my mail server
 in Pittsburgh in the last 24 hours.  My Comcast cable modem has
 a slow upload speed of about 150k bits/sec, so if I were to have
 bounced these messages, that would have taken about 5 hours of
 full upload traffic.  It's hard to see how folks with ordinary
 POTS modems could survive such an attack. 

 They're coming in at the rate of about four a minute right now.
 I spent some time trying to set filters, but the quasi-random
 nature of the Swen email headings makes that impractical with
 my The Bat! email client.  I'm ready to change programs again.

 Thanks,
