Email Servers
Anonymous writes "

As of today, the number of /known/ virii and trojan that can affect e-mail exceeded Sixty-Eight-Thousand!

(And that doesn't include typical virii, trojan or parasites, only those affecting e-mail.)


If your SMTP service provider isn't offering protection for at least this many forms of malicious attack, for free, it is not doing its job.

Definition date: 2003/05/23
Definition count: 68122

If your provider doesn't offer this protection, I advise contacting them immediately and demanding they improve their services.

If they tell you they don't know how to achieve that degree of protection, especially for free, as some that I've contacted have, I recommend switching to a service that does and will.

Only when SMTP providers begin taking responcability for their services, will the public cease being a victem of those services.

Only when the public takes a stand, will the providers become responcible.

Recent proposals by various states to envoke laws to accomplish this security will cost the tax payers millions and not be enforced any better then the laws made for telemarketing.
