> Does anybody have any solution?   We aren't seeing any of these from virus infected machines.  I have received exactly two bounces from valid mailservers containing the virus, and that's it.   Our implementation of ASSP is protecting us from all these early viruses.  Until the virus writers get wise, just rejecting them temporarily with a "451 4.7.1 Please try again later" for five minutes is enough for them to go away, they don't retry, and the way I have ASSP configured, if they HELO with "localhost", "friend", myserver.mydomain.com, or my IP address, they, the sending IP, get blocked permanently.  If they attempt to relay through my server, they get blocked permanently.  If they send an email to one of my block trap addresses, they get blocked permanently.  Etc.    We were receiving 200 virus laden emails a day before the new ASSP with delaying built in.  We are obviously still being sent these types of email, but they never make it onto our server.  It used to be that encrypted zip files with the password included in the email as a graphic were a big worry.  So much that we took to blocking all compressed file types and require a sender to verify themselves before accepting zips from them temporarily.  That problem has completely gone away, to the point that I have been considering removing that restriction.   Good luck,   Doug Traylor   ----- Original Message ----- From: Nitesh (Ipswitch Mailing List Member) To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 12:54 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Even I am getting a lot of these virus emails.
