My problem is not getting a virus, I'm too smart for that :-) And my problem is not filtering the spam. I have great filter ability with my emailer. But this virus gets around filters and continues to flood my inbox where I have to got through them all carefully and sort out that real email and delete the rest. It's just a real pain in the arse doing it a few times a day to keep some space in my mail box. Obviously some ISPs are more affected than others. Also, it depends on how long your email address has been active. Mine is over 3 years now. That means my email address resides on lots of servers and machines around the world waiting for harvest. A newer address might only have a few virus machines harvesting it and not be such a problem. I'm just going to have to change my email address it appears. I was only wondering if I do, will I be able to receive the EOS list, considering that it's been broken for awhile and people have lots of trouble getting on and off this list. That is my real question, can I change my mail address for the EOS list?
