In the past 4 days, I have been getting tons of emails with 150+k attachments that I suppose are the product of the Swen worm/virus on an untreated PC which has my email address on it.

I have been able to stop the emails at the server by setting up a rule for attachments containing .exe, .bat, .scr and so on and this has worked quite well. I have had no luck setting up anything in Mail that will work. I know that going to the mail website and deleting the tagged emails is only one step more than normal, but it should not be necessary. I have tried any number of things of my own creation in Mail with no luck. Have also tried the applescript noted on Macintouch and Macoshints with no luck. Can anyone give me a rule for Mail that will take care of these things?
