Experts have speculated that Sobig.F was designed to turn computers into
spam relay machines as previous versions did. http://in.tech.yahoo.com/030822/137/27823.html"Sobig.F was first posted to a porn Usenet group," "Wendy" wrote in message news:nw0bb.571$Ms2.177@fed1read03...

now I haven't tried that filter Ray- might zap the family photos being
posted, but worth a shot. You probably have more mail because of your website. notice most of the spam isn't script, but a image, so large file filter will work "Ray" wrote in message ...

Good idea, Ray. Now I need to figure out how to do it, which I will. (I'm
not as dumb as I look! LOL) But, does it matter, if I'm reading the headers off the ISP server? Of course, if OE is open, then anything can come in. Bugs caught tonight by Norton, bless its little heart. 585 and counting........ Diana |

Are you on a dialup or broadband access? don't answer, but I was surprised
to see my firewall's report of how many incoming traffic blocks it performed. I'm using Sygate and there is a free version. Also, a rejected message in my mail that I did not generate, tells me not to bounce these messages- just block and forward to my ISP. Find your spam reporting address on the ISP website and keep it in your address book. when you click on block, you can see that it isn't Microsoft sending it.

You hold the record, Ray! I'm at 757. And the only ngs I do are rgo and
abpo. At least I can keep virus free, which is more than I can say for some other folks I know, who actually opened some of this dreck because it looked "official". No tech head I, but that I have always known not to do. So, blocking large messages didn't work, though? I am about to do that, at least until this all quiets down.

Diana,
Yep, the large-file blocking works fine, but using this technique, they are moved from the server to the deleted items folder. I have THAT set to delete the files completely when I exit the program. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .
