OT FOAK Viral mail.

Three and a half thousand today and still coming in. All different
types to all different users in one domain.

It is hard to believe it is the result of an accidental infection.

Could this be the result of my raising my level of proactively wrt spam
a month or so back?

No, it's just fucking stupid Septics who click on dodgy emails. The
cunts.

America."


I'm getting several hundred a day at the moment. It takes whole seconds
for Mailwasher to nuke them.

Right, ta.

It has gone from a couple or three a day to <checks> nearly 4K today
already on an accelerating curve over the last three days. I wonders
where it will peak.

Granted but it makes a mockery of the graph, which is *the* thing I
happen to object to most strongly.


Over the last year I have got the spam down from 300 a day to the point
where I can start turning off auto functions and seeing what actually
works to get it down even further and I am quite pleased with that but
it pisses me off mightily to see a fucking great spike in the middle of
the at-a-glance easy to interpret picture of my efforts, it spoils the
contours. Snot art.

Mind you, having made the decision to turn proactive, Mailwasher doesn't
do quite what I want it to do anymore. A few simple little scripts in
nice little nix shell and some graphics tools to show the databases
would be the answer for what I want. I have the idea summat like that
cygwin is the tool and am reading the faqs right now.

Well exactly, all this filtering stuff is much better handled upstream
imho.

 

No, I;ve had thousands, as has SWMBO's company.
