Hi All,
Just a note to let you know that we have been receiving a large number =
of virus inclusive messages to the Gloucester LUG web server during the =
last three weeks in particular - the server seems to have no ability to =
auto delete these messages and I have been hand deleting each one as =
they arrive and are held on the server pending authorisation by myself =
or Francis.
As an illustration of the number, I stopped counting at fifty ten days =
ago and have deleted many more since.
Clearly this must be happening to every LUG group in the country, and in =
the main we are receiving batch attacks every seven days, in line with =
the in built virus "trigger" of every seven days through to year 2004!
Has anyone any ideas that could be sent to the LUG server controllers so =
that the server could be setup with an auto delete facility?? - It =
would save a hell of a lot of man hours throughout the UK in particular =
- I would think that many LUG administrators are just letting the emails =
through to list members with resulting chaos to individual computers =
across the world!
Best wishes to one and all...
Barrie Haycock
