Presently people are having a big problem with a really intelligent

worm virus in Yahoo groups.This virus usually reaches a mail box some

way and then tracks the ids with the word "group"

and send mails with subject lines usually of a forward which is already

present in you mail box.

This virus is intellegent is becausee of two reasons

- It sends mails with virus to groups by searching for the

word "group" in its address book or inbox id's

- It takes the subject line of any mail with "FW:" in it and sends it

across to the groups and the sent mail is not even seen in the sent

items box.

Hi,

Yeah my gateway loaded with POSTFIX, CLAMAV, BT, SOPHOS, FPROT,

SPAMASSASSIN, and MAILSCANNER could trap 99% of junk before

delivering anything to my CYRUS IMAP daemon process .

PS:

Rational is don't rely on MS platform, they made this cool place internet a sick place .

Always deploy somekinda secure gateway for your HOME net, before riding on NET.
