| 176316 | 2003-09-19 22:56:00 | stu140103 Count yourself lucky. This morning when I turned my computer on I had over 70 emails (that had been stripped of the virus by IHUG). Poor Mailwasher could not handle the number and froze on me. So instead of downloading all the emails I was fortunate enough to be able to delete them through Ihug's Mailgateway. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 176317 | 2003-09-19 23:23:00 | Currently 166 e-mails. Would you believe my ISP (iprolink) can't do anything about them until Monday. They operate their help service from home. By Monday I'll have a new ISP | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 176318 | 2003-09-19 23:33:00 | If the emails are coming from the same addresses you can set your email client filter to delete the emails on the server instead of downloading. | tommy (2826) | ||

Xtra has never failed to pre-strip virus payloads form emails for me, and Nortons AV has not once let me down either, though I note that the automatic on-line update service has been pretty active over the last 24 hours with at least three updates received. However, despite having 9 email addresses, one of which I found to have been previously used by a porn enthusiast (and consequently gets a lot of spam) I have not had an email virus from this current exploit!

| 176320 | 2003-09-20 00:19:00 | I concur with Billy I am not receiving any virus e-mails. My email address is posted on several web pages (as it is required to be for work related issues), and yet I get almost no spam. I have several other addresses, which I use to register any software or for site access. These get a low level of spam, still no viruses. Xtra is my main ISP, they also host my domain name. |

| 176321 | 2003-09-23 02:20:00 | Having my own domain and therefore no ISP filtering, I must have been hit by over 1000 since Friday (I gave up counting!). I know several other people who have been hit with this sort of frequency, too. I'm just killing them all on the server every 15 minutes using mailwasher, but this level of e-mail traffic has to be putting things under stress - I'd guess that the traffic from the worm must be around the order of magnitude of legitimate traffic at the moment. I was surprised not to see fresh stories about it today. |
