Enough already
Ok, I know I complained about not receiving many copies of previous viruses, but this time I think I already got my share. One of my mailboxes is receiving a few hundred messages a day (all without the payload, removed by the mail server, but still annoying). And that is not counting the messages saying that I sent an infected message that was blocked somewhere.
By the way, if you make anti-virus software that blocks e-mail messages, do not return the messages you block. The chance of the user who actually sent it receiving the message back, nowadays, is exactly zero.
I guess I’m still getting off somewhat easy. Some people I know whose usernames are in the main list used by the virus are receiving in excess of 2,000 messages an hour.
