However, if you see lots of attachments with viruses like Klez in them going out from a single user, then I'd say you'd be justified in dropping them, no matter what BS thinks
Assuming you mail system is setup in such a way that you can track from minute to minute which user sent which messages and then make assumptions from that as to what to block. The fact that Xtra made their anti-spam cover all users rather than per user makes me suspect their's can't. Ihug's can't either BTW. Of course the NEXT big virus to come out will send email directly to the remote mail server so we'll all have to intercept port 25 to stop those. Personally I wish journalists wouldn't publicly state their latest idea of "fixing" the Internet all the time, it saves the rest of us having to tell them and/or people at out own company why it's impossible, illegal, expensive and wouldn't work. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
