We're using PureMessage. I haven't paid much attention to the content of
Storm messages, but am under the impression that they are
postcard/account updates etc and I'm not seeing many of these get thru.

What SPAM system are you using? Has someone tuned your system for
Storm worm? The messages come right through our Mirapoint system.
