[LINK] MyDOom and the more annoying aspect

My Gawd.  OK, sure. MyDOom has been inundating my email with not only 
correct addresses but my virtual domain mail systems are getting dozens to 
mary, joe, carren, celia and the names are endless.  I've had to change my 
*@domain policy to accept only those names I know are valid.

So if anyone writes to me under different addresses and they bounce, sorry 
in advance, please let me know and I'll activate them.  I think I've got 
most in the accept table.

But this isn't the problem.  For every one MyDoom virus I "legitimately" 
receive, I get 20-30 bounce messages from mail servers rejecting some 
message with my email address or some virtual address derived, WITH THE 
DAMN virus attached.

So in reality, MyDoom is not causing me problems to the extent that BOUNCE 
messages are.

How damn frustrating.
