Evidently an email virus has been started that gives the impression of being
from "promotions @ trewaudio... ". The email contains an attachment that may
release a virus if opened.
As always, if you receive an unexpected email with an attachement, do not
open the attached file.
While, from time to time, Trew Audio does send out announcements via email,
we will never send unsolicited attachments.
Thanks,
Glen Trew |

I've been getting up to 6 of these messages a day. (not from trew
Audio) They've even tried to pass the virus off as a virus update from
the ISP.
It makes me daydream about what i'd like to do to the twisted pond
scum that would find such a persuit entertaining.

| I'm now virus scanning every single email that passes through our server. We're averaging about 350 infected messages per day (and that's only for the accounts not already protected by Postini.) |

I'm averaging 250 spam e-mails per day at one of my e-mail addresses.
It's gotten to the point that I'm missing so many messages that e-mail
is no longer an effective communication tool.
It's out of control and the yearly man-hours wasted is just nuts. This
may be one issue that 99.99% of the population agree on.
Web-Tv has started something cool, by allowing for specially marking
those I have had prior communications with.

I get a similar number across the three or so address's that get
spamed. I use Spamassassin (on my Linux based server) to filter all
incoming mail and it gets the spam/ham detection right 99.9% (maybe
even 99.99% or 1 in 10000) of the time. If it gets it wrong it's a
spam message that isn't detected rather than a real email being marked
as spam.

Aye, if the ISPs took a more active approach it would help. Like
putting spam detection on their servers, not accepting mail from
blacklisted IP address's etc. One major ISP over here started using
the Brightmail system at the begining of the year, spam in my
mailboxes via that ISP dropped by 80% overnight.
