my main admin account got slammed with mydoom.

7800 fricking messages that are "delivery system failure"

my admin accounts gets all the mail that doesn't have a real address. for example, if you send something to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will drop into the admin account. so now my doom is sending things with [EMAIL PROTECTED], then it is bouncing back to me and dropping into the main account.

what is the best way to manage this?

1) i added some filters to block the subject lines that are most popular
2) but, should I have my admin account configured differently?

right now, I have everything in my domain whitelisted. maybe the best thing to do is just go back and whitelist the specific email addresses that I actually use (15-20 max). but this just seems that it will get into a maintenance nightmare eventually.

3) what is the best way to edit the mail file to delete all the bullshit messages?

thanks,

bhavesh
