Subject: OT: Being bombarded by e-mail trojans
Date: Thursday, September 18, 2003 6:59 PM
I'm being totally bombarded by those damn trojan horse e-mails purporting
to be from Microsoft security, each averaging 150K.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I must've received over 150 today so
far (starting this morning).
I'm getting a couple of dozen every day on our AOL account, as well as a
ton of "returned mail" notices regarding mail *I* never sent . . . either
it's an attempted attack or someone is spoofing our AOL address.
Is there any quick filter I can add to sendmail to
thwart their delivery?
This is becoming highly annoying.

Don't know about that, but I just received a notice from CERT regarding a
buffer overflow bug in sendmail, so best beware . . .
