Out of a mean value of 6 SoBig generated messages per hour getting to my
email, many of them are now of the type "undeliverable mail" by Mail
Daemon. I guess that automatic filtering servers, or wrong usernames are
causing this behaviour.

This is terrible. It means that it is a snow ball. It will go growing on
exponencially,

My ISP offered me (for a fee), a bigger Inbox (it gives 5 MB for free, and
that's what I have). But what use will it be? I am leaving on a trip for
three weeks, and I guess that in one or two days my box will be crowded no
matter its the size. If I take the biggest one, which is quite expensive, it
may take one week instead of two days.

I am going to have all my friend's mails bounced back, with the text: quote
overflow, or whatever.

How are you, people, dealing with this plague? I use my filter to delete
them right away from the server, before downloading them, but that is OK so
far as I can get to my computer at least every day.

Thanks for comments,
haim

The only REALLY effective way to deal with viruses is to never connect your
computer to the outside world. It's full of WeIrDoS. My mom taught me that
50 years ago. Mail? An envelope and pen works fine, but if you need word
processing then change the pen for a pencil and add an eraser.

But joking asside, if all these viruses continue to snowball then proper
snail-mail may indeed see some form of recovery. But as regards your
problem, have you thought of sending your closest friends you mobile number
so they can use a SMS / MMS ?

My mailbocks is already hobbled - message rule:
"If message exceeds 25Kbytes or message contains an attachment then delete
from server (do not download)".
