The rate at which their coming is increasing exponentially.I recieved 10Mb of mail over the weekend, and I the last 12 hours I recieved another 10Mb. I have a 10Mb internet based, downloadable mailbox and at this rate I should recieve mail for 3 hours tomorrow before it becomes flooded! Its very disturbing. I'd love to get my hands on the person responsible for this!My solution has been exim4, exiscan-acl, clamav, spamassassin and liberal use of shorewall's blacklist.I can't see any solution to this. Downloading this amount of mail during the day would cost me a fortune *sniff*
