Someone that's sent an email to vogons has been infected with the Novarg/MIMAIL.R worm. Please scan your system, you fucking wankers. 10 emails/hr, even with IMAP, is still a pain in the fucking ass.

Yes, it’s my fault.

I think you need to lighten up a little... only 10/hr.... I'm getting a shed load of e-mails and most are spoofed from/to my domains 🙁

Or MS products in general 😉

Good point, QBIX. 😎 There are freebies that are even better than MS counterparts.

Not wanting to get into an argument but I use Outlook 2003 and I'd say it's probably the best e-mail client about... Naturally, there'll be disagreements on this but hey that's life.

That remembers me a quote from Fallout 2: "Opinions are like assholes, everybody got one and they all stink" 🤣! 😁

Hey, my ass doesn't stink...

Reckless, have you ever sat down and actually configured and used Mozilla Mail for 5 minutes? Bayesian filtering alone is enough for it to be the best, but then there's the lovely fact that you CAN'T GET VIRUSES THROUGH THE PREVIEW PANE.

Yes, it’s my fault.

It's certainly a very good thing that not all products are prone to virus attack and propogation like Microsoft's are. However, I like Outlook (hooked into Exchange at work) so there are benefits above other clients for me.

As I know my e-mail client's security isn't exactly bombproof, I make a habbit of being cautious when handling e-mails from unexpected origins 😀

But what happens when it's coming from someone you do expect to be receiving an email from?

Just a note, as of this moment I have received 560 W32.Novarg.A@mm/W32/MyDoom/WORM_MIMAIL.R viruses to this domain.

Yes, it’s my fault.
