All emails to my address now get a response that I am over quota. I am
over quota becuase I rec'v 20-30 viruses a day (Swen), and unknown
quantities of spam (that I don't see anymore due to spampal). I am not
infected with the swen virus myself.

This is verizon DSL.

If they had any type of virus protection this wouldn't happen. Complain
to your ISP before this happens to you.

Have you deleted them, if your box is still full of them thats why you are
reciving this from your ISP!!!!

There is a big difference between, "Your mailbox is full" and "You are
over your quota"

My mail is dumped every 5 mins and deleted off the server.

I did call and harass the DSL department. I got my mail turned back on,
and today I had 100 emails waiting. I'm still getting the virus emails but
the attachment is gone (They filtered it or something). This should should
be the beginning of the end of swen.
