Re: [cobalt-users] Spam

I am not on any of them list, but here is something interesting.

I got a bounced email from a customer who's site is maxed, check out the email.

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
site-mgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Looks like someone wrote the virus to send itself to the "site-mgr" email address
on the RAQ server which in turn emails this to every site admin username on the raq.
All my customers, who hold site admin usernames, are complaining about getting
massive emails like these today.

How can this email address be turned off on the Raq?

Hi Fred,

Not sure if the list did get out, but I saw a huge upsurge of SoBig.F on my 
server between 10:30am EST - 13:00 EST. Lots of folks around the globe were 
reporting the same trend on MAILSCANNER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx list group.

Just FYI.
