[thelist] OT: 27 Trojans in the in-box today

[Frank]

Holy Smokes! I received 27 trojans in my in box at an address that I never 
give out, and that never receives spam.  Most had a From: of ferris.edu 
with the title "Thank You" (and variations thereof). Lucky for me, I'm 
security minded with all of my defence settings at "Paranoid".

Has anyone else gotten hammered?

For PC users who haven't yet tried using Bayesian filtering for their spam, 
I would recommend K9.

Not only does it do an excellent job of trapping spam, but as a side bonus, 
it also seems to treat virus infected emails as spam. It's a extra (albeit 
a soft) extra line of defence.
