Fight Back Against WORMS !!!
 

As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book and sends itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates. This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it
from using your address book to spread further, and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has gotten into your system.

Here's what you do: first, open your address book and click on "new contact" just as you would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses. In the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in !000 (that's an exclamation mark followed by 3 zeros). In the window below where it prompts you to enter the new email address, type in WormAlert. Then complete everything by clicking add, enter, ok, etc.

Now, here's what you've done and why it works: the "name" !000 will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. But when it tries to send itself to !000, it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered (WormAlert). If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected.

Here's the second great advantage of this method: if an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified of this in your InBox almost immediately. Hence, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to WormAlert could not be delivered, you know right away that you have the worm virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of it!

Nice one!
Im getting 50 mails a hour during business hours from <[email protected]> with big attachments, so thats several hundreds a day from 1 person. I tried to reply but he doesnt answer. I also mailed the webmaster as found in the whois, no answer.

Is someone able to find a email address on this site? http://www.transbrasil.com.br
I need to stop this dude, this is getting out of hand, already for 3 days now.

Bat,
go into your tools and change the file sizes you accept. Last week i had this happen and it took 5 hours for me to download all those emails. When i changed the file sizes it helped alot!!
this forum may help you. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/...ML/009465.html

I cant do this because then the files will get stuck at my dedicated server (i think). I dont want them to overload my server so i need to download them.

Post the email headers and someone here might be able to help you.

I just got tired of people crying that I had sent them a worm, so figured there MUST be a workaround ...
