I'd forgotten you could get into the POP server using telnet (I used to 
do that at Uni, when I just wanted to check there was mail before firing 
up the actual reader)

I'll give it a whirl... thanks

BTW, There seems to be another virus now - it pretends to be an 
undelivered mail message (uklinux.net uses Postfix, so I can filter out 
the crap easily enough)
