So I put it back to normal while I actually debug things instead of just
assuming I'm smarter than I am.

This "Sobig" virus is causing me nightmares at work with all the bounced

messages.

I have moved all of my pop3 accounts to Hotmail, then I pull existing
accounts like robin@robinf.com  in with auto-forward.

Hotmail keeps the virus off my computer and has a half decent spam blocker.

I had to sign up for the 10MB account which was £20 for a year, but I would
rather be protected than get hit by a virus. It sounds like an advert for
microsoft, but it works for me.

I then let through lists like gzg and block all the 40+ junk messages I
get each day.

If only life were simpler, back when I played wargames and had no access to
the internet. Take me back to 1989!

Personally I just don't use IE/OE at work, and avoid windows altogether
at home. As a result the only computer viruses I have experienced in ten years
were two Word Macro viruses.

You mean when we were cleaning up after virus attacks that actually did real
damage to your machine and data? The only real difference these days is the
speed of propagation, and that due to the forged headers responsible net users
are being affected as well. The real crime here is that after 20 years the
worlds #1 operating system vendor still refuses to take this issue seriously!

Now to attempt to bring this OT. Has anyone considered introducing EW (along
the lines of SG) in DS? Can anyone point me at any house rules for this?
