So I got a blatant virus attempt today....the "Last Patch" one with the
bogus exe file. Is there a Spamcop type service where one can submit
virus sending hosts to?
I was thinking about tying in something like this to my own virus scanner.
If you want to BLOCK virus infected hosts, such a thing would be useful
(the XBL is another such blocklist).
If on the other hand you want to complain at the ISP in question, then by
all means use spamcop -- the email you got was not at all requested so,
virus or no, it's still spam. Despite what people have said on the list
previously, I tend to think SpamCop DOES make abuse departments stand up
and take notice of a problem, more than a single random email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
HTH, JM2C, YMMV.
