My plea to server admins..
If you run any sort of mail server, please turn off virus notifications for viruses that forge the sender. I'm now getting about 40-50 virus notifications a day telling me I'm infected.

Bounce are becoming a huge problem too, as they almost equal the amount of spam I get now. A good filter for people is to filter on:

Return-Path = <>

that catches 90% of them.

My other plea is turn off auto add to address book in Outlook. With viruses sending forged headers, and I'm getting 200-300 undeliverables a day, I can't imagine how many more address books I'm getting added to, making the next worm that hits all that worse.

Cheers,

Alex
