Hey Mike,

In my case, the virus email bombing that I am getting has not affected my in
regards to being infected, but it definitely has slowed everything down. It
is taking forever to use my ISP's webmail email browser (in order to not
download the infected emails) to load up, when there is 200-1,000 messages
in the email box.

I am quite sure I am not the only one getting this happening to them as
well, that are on the same ISP. Must definitely be overloading the mail
server my guess would have to be.

Me too - 2000 per day.

Me too, 49 yesterday and 80 today.

So far today:

$ grep -i logging ljoe.txt | wc -l
1286
$ grep -i "\/dev\/null" ljoe.txt | wc -l
976

That's 976 worms out of 1286 mails accepted, total. That doesn't count
the 54 that I bounced because I don't accept mail from the sender's
domain, so it's 976 out of 1340 attempts. At about 150K per try. Rough
on the other people on my cablemodem segment.
