during last weekend, I received several hundred of the the latest ms 'virus' emails, all about 100k, with about 7 different subjects. on Monday, the flow slowed down, just maybe a hundred or so all day, and, I assumed the worst was over, so to speak.
However, between Tuesday and Wed this week, I received in excess of 1,000 emails in say 12 hours, and, when I looked at it in the afternoon, I was getting one new mssg every minute. looking at mailboxes of several hundred users, it was only my own email that was being hit so much, likewise, the admin of email on other servers where my server is hosted doesn't see *that many* virus hits across his servers. Suggestions were made to me that perhaps I was 'targeted' with it ? - how much of the crap are others getting ? the actual payload dosn't worry me, but, I don't want to pay for the traffic, so, in the end, as an interim measure, I've deleted my own email address (as to refuse this crap at smtp server) I suppose the only way to stop it, traffic-wise, would be to filter upstream ? I thought ms tax only applied when you bought a new PC, seems, ms tax is a lot broader Voytek Eymont -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
