I did see it, and have also been unhappy about the recent increase in
spam. We do run spamassassin and amavis (for virus checking) on the
server. However, configuring these is an ongoing project, as the
attackers figure out how to get around whatever rules we do have. It's
also somewhat hit and miss, e.g., sometimes, I'll clamp down the rules
and then perfectly valid and important posts get blocked. I'm happy to
look at this again, but it might be useful to inquire at John Companies
if they can supply a hardware firewall such as Barracuda. I think that's
what NASA uses, as I see these spams in my quarantine daily.

Not sure you would have seen this. The amount of spam has increased
dramatically. I wasn’t aware of viruses, but will trust HB’s judgment
on that. I know I get called on frequently to block email that’s spam.
I get several such requests per day
Thanks, Jim

can we use a SPAM filter (two of the SPAMs, so far, had links to a
known virus that our internal email filtering caught, and 1 last week
was a virus that our internal email filtering also caught)- now that
virus are starting to be sent, can something be done before some one
puts in a legitimate subject line and sends a virus ?
