Title: Message
Hi;
You are right- but it also affects all incidents of SQL server installations, meaning if you have installed VISIO, ACCESS, or other application that use SQL Server engine then you could be affected and not know it.
 
Of course if you are using SQL authentication (& not Windows Authentication) and not have SA set then you either have a very good reason that should be shared with the world or you need to fix this immediately.
 
But, there are a number of software products out there that install SQL engine without telling you (e.g. VISIO- & the installation will not prompt you for setting passwords).  It is not bad to test your system and make sure you don't have incidents out there that you don't know.  Check this out and just make sure that some software is not out there and you are not aware of it.
 
 
I know that this is not related to this list but my question was basically if there is a way to block an email going out.  Just in case!

Kami

We don't want to cause everyone to panic here...  From what I see, the attack only affects SQL 7.0 (and lower?), and you are only vulnerable if you havn't set an sa password. (If you don't have this set, you probably deserve to be attacked).

Hi;
 
How can we block an outgoing e-Mail to a specific e-Mail address.  As you know a new attack is underway on SQL Servers.
 
 
One suggestion is to block all emails to:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Any ideas?

Kami
