My ISP says the same.  They say that it isn't possible for a
subscriber to use Telnet to check on his email, but this is
just a lie.  I do it all the time.

Why don't ISPs just periodically perform routine virus scans
of their mail servers?  Then they can just simply delete the
viruses from the mail servers before anyone gets them.
