Procmail dumped 3 emails 'from microsoft support' into our spam box, norton says those messages have that virus in them. We didn't even add anything special in preparation. Existing recipe did it. Sometimes I think people are trying to get too fancy with that stuff. It pains me to say this but as far as visi goes, wev'e actually blocked any mail from 'metis.visi.com', even though it's our secondary MX. It's the biggest spam offender we've seen so far. I'm not sure just what's up with visi and mail these days, but it looks as though they're not doing much to prevent trouble from what we can see here.... In all fairness, there may be more to it than I'm aware of, but the stuff that was coming in from metis was obviously spam and much of it could easily be filtered. -mj > > Tom Veldhouse > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sam MacDonald" <smac at visi.com> > To: <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> > Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 11:29 AM > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Yet another new virus > > >> My ISP is Visi and I have no problems with viruses thanks to Postini. >> I did find 1 sobig that made it to my Postini account <delete>.
