telus.net and telusplanet.net are bouncing all of my
abuse complaints about Swen virus messages.

They can manage to send virus-infected mail to me,
but they won't take mail from me?

Yep, sure can, and would be harder to make sure they cut off Swen rather
than just cut off your complaints.

I dropped all of Telus's traffic in the firewall. No complaints. (I checked
my logs first...)

telus.blackholes.us or use their zone files on their web page.

As a recent news release indicated, Telus is taking important steps to
protect their customers. They are filtering all mail on "Swen Virus."

Please post a sample "bounce" message, and the headers from a
virus-infected message.

It probably was something "transient" -- my E-mails to
<[email protected]>
do not bounce, and I get a follow-up "we have enforced our AUP"
message a few days later.

Note that some viruses, e.g., 'Swen', do *NOT* use the ISP's
mail-server.
So, unless the ISP blocks outgoing SMTP (port 25) connections from
their
customers' IP-addresses, there is no opportunity for the ISP to
virus-filter the message
before it reaches your ISP's mail-server.

P.S. TELUS offers *free* anti-virus software to all their ADSL
customers.

Yes, a "direct-to-SMTP-server" piece of E-mail, bypassing the TELUS
SMTP-servers.

So, it shows that TELUS is part of the solution, not part of the
problem.
