which is a nice behavior and helps the stressed exchange/outlook
admins.....
viruses as spam simply slow down the mail traffic worldwide (they cost
several millions a day worldwide i guess (traffic costs, hardware costs
for machines to be able to run a spamfilter/virusscanner on the server,
power costs for hours where only scanning and filtering is done ... )).
 
so they also affect you (not i the way they affect a infected windows
user though) but the elemination of every virus or spam mail on the net
is just a good thing for everyone ;)
