Talked to lots of people yesterday whose offices did just about the same thing. Thank god for ICQ and AIM, as it was the only reliable way to communicate with some people yesterday. Our steps were to:
1) Verify the threat
2) Notify users with a rational email note telling them to confirm all attachments with the sender.
3) Patch sendmail appropriately.
Seemed to be pretty effective, we only had 2 instances of infection (from users who don't read emails marked IMPORTANT first), and we haven't received anything since.
