Are all of you folks being subjected to constant
e-mails containing virus files? My receipts are numerous.
TIA in advance for your reply.

Yes, still after about a week, doesn't seem like the ISP is doing anything
about it, I at least thought they could block them.

Yes, and it's starting to really p*** me off. I'm running POPFile to filter
the spam, and it works great. AVG on the other hand, also doing it's job
very well, causes a pop-up for every virus in the POPFile message folder.
Cleanup for this takes several minutes everytime OE fetches the mail. Here
at work I have OE fetch mail every 30 minutes, a pain in the butt to clean
up the many messages I get every 30 mins.

Well, I use SpamPal to remove my spam (www.spampal.org)

You can now add in a messagelabs dnsbl check to see if the ip address had sent
a virus in the past 48 hours, not 100% but pretty good!

see this thread:
http://www.spampal.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3017

Here's an example of what happens:

FROM: "MS Corporation Customer Support" <imhiztbb@news_msn.net>
TO: "Commercial Consumer" <consumer_udjurky@news_msn.net>
Subject: **SPAM** New Net Critical Upgrade
X-SpamPal: SPAM VBL 193.113.154.29

So, once you've setup a message rule to move all your X-SpamPal: SPAM items to
your SPAM mailbox.. it's out of the way :)

If you want to delete the virus on the server directly, this is supposed to
work too (you need to edit the .ini file with your pop3 username etc. etc.

(Use at own risk etc. etc. )

Hope that helps,

Nope. They're automatically deleted on the server.

Read a little news, somewhere - anywhere, even in the
mainstream press - for what's been going around for a few
days, now.

So delete them on the server.

Yes, getting about 10/hour since last Thursday. Fortunately
MailWasherPro handles it pretty well. I delete them all while they are
still on the server. I never have to download them.
