RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Solution for tooo much junkmail?
I'd like to be more proactive and go on an education crusade to provide folks with the knowledge of how to detect if their systems are infected and what to do about it, but I have no idea of what to look for or what software to use to fix it. You're going to educate: 1. Little ole' Mrs. Smith who only uses her computer to view pictures of her grandkids and to get email. 2. Tom the all-league quarter back football star who only does research for football scholarships. Well yeah also to chat with his friends. And do keep up on the latest tunes. 3. The geek up the street who listens to Leo Laporte and chats about how so many people are on the Internet and don't have a clue about which MB is the best for the hot on-line games and how they waste so much money on things like AV and firewalls. 4. Mrs. Jones who searches for new recopies about fried dumplings and to get the latest entertainment world gossip. 5. The small business owner who gets email and his website as part of the $35 per month DSL package at the shop but his workers don't go on the Internet so there is nothing to worry about. More power to ya. Anyone with some leads on finding the ultimate sources that's creating all these zombies?? And if you could then what? Unless you want to be a vigilante the government (politicians, courts, lawyers, no wait not lawyers they stick up for them) will just shake their finger at them and say No No No you must be good boys and girls) Remember people, if the battle against spam and viruses was that easy, the war would be over by now.

Setup a blacklist and start blocking the IP ranges of the Home-Based systems. Take the offending IP addresses and use ARIN to look up the ip range of the offending ISP. You may even be able to call the ISP to get their non-business ip ranges.

We're all seeing it... My log files have increased over 30% in recent times as I'm sure yours have too. Through due diligence we stop an awful lot, but much still gets by. But we're being active after the fact. Is there anyone who has knowledge of what virus and/or trojan is causing all of this great increase in activity?? The biggest thing we do know is that the majority of it is coming from our neighbors: the home-based systems on dial-up, DSL and cable.
