I suspect the main culprit is the USENET gateway. Any post to USENET with a
valid email address seems to immediately attract lots of virus traffic.
Maybe it's time to eliminate the USENET gateway. If USENET wasn't dead before, it effectively is now, since posting to it results in an almost immediate mailbox DoS.
I agree. Usenet these days is the domain of spammers and Warez postings.
Ten years ago I used to spend hours a day on Linux and Samba (comp.os.protocols.smb) newsgroups, reading and replying to messages. That was back when there were maybe a couple of thousand newsgroups total. As the web grew, my use of Usenet has decreased, and I have not actively bothered to even setup a newsgroup reader in a couple of years. If I cannot find it in mailing list archives or a google search, I am usually not going to waste time in Usenet - with 30,000 or more groups on most Usenet servers today!
I vote to kill the mailing list -> Usenet gateway, if that is what is causing these virus email attacks on subscribers. If I wanted to use Usenet, I would go read comp.os.protocols.smb or whatever, directly!
