OT - Mail Virus
I actually use a differe e-mail than everybody see, then i use the mail
alias forwardign from my web host. There is no actual pop server providing service fro all alias' from that domain name are forwarded to my actual address, and I just cludge my reply address to show the appropriate address for return e-mail. I started using for my reply address when posting to usenet. I told my mail forwarding setup to send replies to it to oblivion. "Josh" wrote in message ... Bob, I'v e been suffern with this too.

those that use the usenet that are getting clobbered. Carlos |

The *only* thing I use the webmaster address is for this group and APBF. I have not received another of these MS themed viruses in any of my other email accounts. I've only been receiving about 30-40 a day. I have them filtered by "subject" and "from" combinations, so I'm knocking out almost all of them now at the server level. Ahhhh, the benefits of having access to the server! :-). Bob LaLonde has a really good idea of the dummy address to forward email from. If it gets to bad, just lose the account and start another. May have to give that one some thought... -- Andrew Kidd http://www.amiasoft.com/ - Software for the rest of us! http://www.rofb.net/ - ROFB Newsgroup Home |

This virus is called the W32.Swen.A or W32.Swen.MM and from all the tech
advisors I have spoken to it's very hard to get rid of.It attacks through your email,or through newsgroups and when you take the steps to delete it,the sneaky thing will install itself all over again. For more info go to www.symantec.com I have been told that it may mean deleting all files,reconfiguring your internet setup,and generally being ****ed off in the process.Good Luck! |
