You're at Dell? (Oh man...I feel for ya on the IT Department size. My
neighbor has been with Dell IT for almost 13 years and still wonders how
they actually run the entire corporation on such a skeleton crew.)

Tell me about it. I worked from 7:30 Tuesday morning straight thru to
4:30 Wednesday evening, then came back in at 5:00 Thursday morning and
I'm still here (12:30 Friday morning)...just got the e-mail server back
up about an hour ago and tweaked the PIX to funnel to it...the server it
*was* pointing to is complete toast. 9 NT servers, 3 Snap servers, and
100+ workstation mix of everything from Win95 to 200 Pro and tons of
users with MSNBC as their home page...it spread like wild fire. The
always lax CEO is now whistling another tune and listening to me about
security concerns after being in various stages of effectively out of
business for 2 days. Unfortunate that it took all of this for them to
finally start taking me seriously, especially since I have to mop it all
up (only a 2 man IT department).

There is...
It just depends on how far the IT department went for security on the
mail system and internal machines and how much authority your IT
department has. Dell (a super-huge corporation) had to shut down
because of this...at my (part-time) day job...we're not worried about
it.
