I regularly filter both at my ISP and on my home computer. Unfortunately, once the volume gets that high, the ISP's whole system starts suffering. Note that the actual virus email (exe/bat/pif/scr attachments) is a small minority of the problem -- most of the mail is virus warnings or bounces from messages that infected computers sent, with my return address attached. > David: Is there a way you can simply disable the address for a week > or so until this clears up? That's what's happened, but I'm afraid that it's not going to clear up. I was getting hundreds (and sometimes over a thousand) such messages every day before the current outbreak. I see no way that things are going to slow down now -- the forged messages from me will keep finding their way to new Outlook installations. I will keep hoping, though.
