If we had Exchange. J Not going to happen. We're too small to afford
Exchange. Less than 200 mailboxes. Exchange is just too expensive for us.
When we bring email in-house we'll probably go with something like Kerio
Mail Server for a fraction of the price of Exchange and most of the features
of Exchange. J

Slightly sanitized (removed user's email address):

 

Dear user (email address),

 

We have detected that your account was used to send a large amount of
unsolicited e-mail messages during the last week.

Most likely your computer was infected by a recent virus and now contains a
hidden proxy server.

 

We recommend that you follow our instruction in the attached file in order
to keep your computer safe.

 

Best wishes,

The blueridgecarpet.com support team.

 

Attached was a file called "blueridgecarpet.com" As we all know, .com files
are executable. I wish I could prevent executable files from being received
in email, but I don't think I can.

Subject: FYI -- fake email abuse warning

One of my users was sent a bogus email abuse warning stating that his
account had been flagged  because his "account was used to send a large
amount of unsolicited e-mail messages during the last week." They had an
attachment that was flagged by AVG as a virus and so the email was bounced
back to me as the return address was [email protected] which
comes to me. I've never seen this particular social engineering stunt before
and thought I'd pass it along to you guys. I can pass along the text of the
bounced message (sans attachment, of course! <G>) if anyone wants it.
