You'd have to leave your machine on,
I do - if I didn't then getting the 250MBytes a day would not be possible ;-)

swendeleter tool on a schedule so that it deletes the emails every night
or something like that. This would work at least until you sort out
filtering on the Unix side. The problem is you do have to trust
swendeleter to delete only infected emails (I do this, and so far it
hasn't deleted anything important to the best of my knowledge - the
author reckons nobody has reported any false positives so it's probably
reasonably safe).
Yeah - I think I will have to. This problem is causing lack of sleep and that
is not helping me sort it out. I have considered dropping my domain as the
easiest way to fix it but I really do not want to do that.

If you're transferring the config file between a Unix box and a Windows
one, it does need to be transferred as ASCII. Otherwise you'll get
Windows line endings on the Unix box which may be bad (or may be ignored
- depends on what's reading it).
Yep - and I do not have a way of checking what I have put back on the
server. I know I get it with LF and not CRLF but I suspect when I change
it I am changing all the LFs to CRLFs.
