Worm storms

[Julian V. Noble]

Dear C Mavens,

Anyone here getting hosts of spam with nefarious attachments,
purporting to be from M$ or its lackeys, into your mailbox?

I neglected to spoof my header, and since Hurricane Isabel
I have gotten well over 10K such messages.

I got suprised one day as it turned out that I had ~200 messagess waiting
for me. The bad thing is that I have *slow* connection and those messages
were simply killing my system. I had 100+ of sendmails hanging around and
waiting forever for the mail to arrive.

On windows I like using mailshield desktop. But on
linux/unix may be magic mail monitor could work. Try it.

You can view mail (header) and then delete them without
downloading them.

But I don't understand one thing. I get only 5-10 mails per
day :(

I don't get about 200 mails like you guys.

Send some spam! And some worms.

Use Mozilla Thunderbird. Choose the option not to download anything
about for example 130KB.

If four millibits of swen-virus per day justifies a change in your id, then
I can only presume that the five hundred MegaBytes I'm receiving justifies
a change in my super-ego.

LOL! Nicely observed (even without the punch-line).

I look to Richard's posts for enlightenment. Humor is a bonus.
