I've got very effective filters. And there are now some specialized tools for dealing with Swen. However, these will be of limited use the _next_ time a mass-mailing, heavy-payload worm propogates. Particularly if it uses a wider range of subject/from headers, and/or has differently-sized payloads. Swen was pretty easy to spot at 144 KiB + a fixed set of addresses and subject tokens. While more ISPs are offering mail filtering, most have pretty broken tools. SMTP-time rejection + teergrubing is highly preferred. Newcomers to the 'Net have some very serious issues to deal with.
