Amen, I didn't get nearly enough sleep last night and had received this auto-response from another declude user that had received a virus from a forged address at my domain... The Declude Virus software on our mail server detected the W32/[EMAIL PROTECTED] virus that appears to have come from your mail server. It was sent in an attachment your_details.pif, from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with the subject "Re: Thank you!". The Message-ID was: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. This notice is sent as a courtesy so that you have the option of contacting your user and helping them get rid of the virus. This message was sent by Declude Virus. If your mail server had better virus protection, it would have caused less work for our server and could have prevented one of your users from getting a virus. !!!! The part that set me off was them telling people that if their mail server had better protection it would cause theirs less work!!! Arg...My response was... > If your mail server had better virus protection, it would have > caused less > work for our server and could have prevented one of your users > from getting a > virus. #1 Our mail server does have "better" virus protection(in fact the same yours does), and it does prevent our users from infection. #2 If you had "better" administration you would turn off notifications to postmasters and senders as it is well known the Sobig Virus and all variants of this virus forge email addresses. I am sure I am one of many that has received this in the wrong. #3 Your auto response comes off unnecessarily rude, and makes your technical staff look ignorant. I would hope this is not a reflection of how your company does business. If you would like to cause your mail server less work take our suggestion in #2 > Received: from DTS-ORL02 ([66.35.177.66]) Not my IP Thank you for your time, the intention of this email is only to educate. I am sure your technical staff is competent. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by QuestNet.net (http://www.QuestNet.net)] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
