true.
sorry, but there's the issue of solving my problem, and the bigger issue of getting these people to fix their stupid machines. it's fairly trivial to make that stuff a non-issue for me personally, but those things don't do much for the larger issue of convincing people to rmeove the viruses from their stupid computers. IP blocks are one way of getting their attention, or at least trying, by denying them access to something they evidently want. Which will hopefully ocnovince them to get their act together and quit spreading viruses amongst all of their friends and neighbors.FWVLIW I avoid the problem (and the moderation/list load) by strippingthose sites would be banned (FWIW, I did end up putting IP blocks against two sites, which stopped most of the noise).
those MIME parts and then silently discarding messages which are too
short after stripping (ie nothing left after offensive payload removed).
Very little gets past that.
Another approach of course is to front your list with a virus stripper.
