Because of the nature of Magistr.32768 changing the reply-to, we started also sending notifications to abuse@SENDERDOMAIN
We seem to get much better response when their ISP is also tracking them down, most times for AUP violations. The abuse@SENDERDOMAIN that get bounced, I usually include the following note and track down an address that will work for the domain -----NO ABUSE ACCOUNT MESSAGE----- The domain listed below is not accepting mail to the abuse@ account. Mail servers are expected by RFC2142 to accept mail to abuse. Please refer to the following link to better understand the correct configuration of your domain. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=PUTYOURDOMAINNAMEHERE You are receiving this message because our automated email virus scanning system attempted to notify your abuse@ account of a virus originating in your domain name, and the message was returned. Further details about the original notification is below. Thanks -----END NO ABUSE ACCOUNT MESSAGE_____ Trent ----------- Trent M.

Steve, We send notifications to the sender of the virus and have had positive feedback by doing so. We also are using Declude Virus to do this and it works really well. We have never received a negative message from anyone that has received the notifications. Most are all thanks for letting me know about the virus and where to go to get it cleaned up responses.

The company doesn't care if I ask a questions. Getting feedback from others doing the same thing or having the same issues is what these lists are all about. I am looking for feedback relating to setting up a policy of notify or not to notify. I want to hear what others are doing before I set up a policy going forward. I have been sending notifications but I want to review the practice to see if it has any real value. That is why I asked the question here. If others of you find no value or if everyone has the same idea to notify then I would like to weigh that factor in my decision. On another note. I like the Declude spam filter. It has cut down the amount of spam by about 60-70% It takes a bit to work out the level of protection you want, it also takes time to white list those who do not have their servers set up properly, but I think it is good product.

We use Declude AV which sends automated notifications to sender (or optionally recipients too) warning them about infected e-mails. Our customers love it and are most appreciative of the notifications. Almost too funny you are an IP Switch employee. I am sure the IMail AV department over there is going to love your post/inquiry! I always wondered why IPSwitch did not work a deal with Declude? It's a fantastic and more affordably priced product for most on this list. At the same time IMail server is great too! Well... 6.06 is anyway, as I waiting for version 7.** stabilization. Give Declude AV a whirl and I am sure you will agree. Also, what a great testimony to Declude Junk Mail if IPSwitch is using! -Don S. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Steven Driscoll > Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 6:52 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [IMail Forum] Virus Stuff! > > Good Morning all.... > > First off...I'm new to the list.
