It comes from a huge variety of domains and so we cannot "block" any particular domain (eg: @hotmail.com ; this domain was the first one to be added to our "Kill List"). Is there a virus in the wild that generates this spam ? Does it reveal domain names that have "open" or unlimited relay ? If so then surely co-operative isp around the world could identify and share a list, much like antivirus .dat files, to block all mail, or even an email name such as "philbert" ALSO: our FTGate mail server shows a number of emails as having been received from <postmaster@local> Is this a default address enabling mass mailout to be recognised by mail servers generally ? :angry	Woof (2402)

Send out an Email to everybody in your address book with a Link to AVG Free, and ask them to all check their AV software. Chill.	Chilling_Silence (9)

The good thing bout spampal, is it also uses whitelists, you can add known good email addies to it, so u can add ppl you know to it. And u still get emails.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
