My count is now near 100. Fortunately it's not as bad as yours. yet.
these virus people have entirely too much time on their hands. they
should just chill and go get a beer.

I'm up to nearly 1K right now. My suppport goddess and I have been
tweaking my Spam Assassin settings on the box that hosts balderstone.ca
and may have finally got it. I'll know more in a while, things are so
slow that there's a 45 minute delay at the mail server.

At work, we run an anti-virus server along with the firewall, and I
haven't had one from that account.

I run Norton Antivirus, Zonealarm as well as the firewall
in my wireless router. I don't see how any of these can
stop what is essentially spam. They will let through
email that is addressed to you. How is yours being
stopped at work with these tools?

a filter on the server side can recognize the payload attachments and delete
it before delivering it to your mailbox.
