I agree with Troy, your provider should have a spam filter.
As a stop gap measure, you could add the user’s own e-mail address to the blocked sender list in Junk Options. That would at least get the messages out of his inbox.

Since you are using hosted Exchange services, you should speak to this provider and ask them about this issue. They should be providing anti-spam and anti-virus as part of their hosted services. If they do not, seek another provider who does.

We use Outlook 2007. Our Exchange server is hosted by Intermedia, so I presume it is version 7, and we only have 15 users. Only one (actually there may be two) users are currently affected by this spam.

Another hosted filter service which does a great job is Message Labs. We have over 10,000 mailboxes and our SPAM was reduced significantly when we started using them.

I have often been troubled by the use of one of my favorite foods being used to describe junk e-mail. Nobody wants junk e-mail. But almost everybody loves SPAMwiches.
