My email provider has been great at filtering all these latest viruses out, so I never see them. But their outgoing mail server has been very slow to respond these last couple of weeks - which I guess is a result of the viruses (or perhaps spam). I think it is about time a whole new email system is designed for the internet, this one is becoming useless. The changeover could be a headache though.

I am getting these messages, but I don't ever see any of it. I have nearly 2500 messages in my Junk Mail folder on Jaguar's Mail program, which makes the filtering VERY accurate :) Yet one more reason I use a Mac at work. Even if I were to open the attachments, they couldn't do anything... Andrea.

My univ. does the same thing... most of what gets through is harmless. Most of it is spam in Simplified Chinese.
