What do you exactly mean with 'attack'?

If you mean stopping the sending of these messages to your server,
the answer is no.
But you should use filter mechanisms, virus scanners etc., to protect your
systems.

You mean "besides persuading everyone in the world not to use Windows?"

Well my server is scanning any mail it recives for its local users using
FRISK's A.V. F-Prot(daily updated, using a cron job) through amvisd-new,
and I only recive its news of the virus being recived.

But in the mail from amvisd it seems that I'd been the intentional
target of the mails.

And now I'm asking for a way to stop this. if possible.
Otherwise i'll just wait it out.

market :)

ask your ISP if they can strip the attachement or if the traffic is
identifiable ...

Thanks, it seem to be a way.
Though I'm not sertain that all our
trafic goes stricly through our ISP's
network/servers.

but i'll try to contact them on the subject.
