    Default Block bounced/returned messages from SoBig virus

    This is the issue at hand most of us are having or had. So many e-mails being bounced back to my servers saying I sent virus (pif, .scr .exe) which I or anyone on my servers have not sent.

    We all know the return e-mail address is spoofed so you get killed with a crap load of e-mails which bogs the server down and can sometimes crash the mail server.

    This is what I need.....

    Someone to help or assist me in editing my EXIM files to delete or block any return e-mails that have this in them. My mail q is around 500-600 a day, sometimes higher.

    I'm will to pay (depending on price), or trade 2 sets of FLASH TUTORIALS for your help.

    I have read so many threads on this issue here and rackshack. I would like someone to verify that there is a way to stop, block these from entering my Q.

    Thanks.

    I know it may not be the solution your looking for... but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The worm de-activates on 9/10. So you only have to put up with it for another 4 days....

    I thought it was 9/20 and then you have to worry about all the infected computers still sending the worm for months to come. I would imagine its not going to just go away instantly.

    "The worm de-activates on September 10, 2003. The last day on which the worm will spread is September 9, 2003.

    The aforementioned de-activation date applies only to the mass-mailing, network propagation, and email address collection routines. This means that a W32.Sobig.F@mm-infected computer will still attempt to download the updates from the respective list of master servers during the associated trigger period, even after the infection de-activation date. Previous variants of Sobig exhibited similar behavior. "
