Dear B-GREEKERS,
My apologies for this which is somewhat off topic, however I don't know of another way of communicating this.
Recently I have been swamped with Emails containing the "Netsky" Virus. These messages have contained the letters AOL in the 'from string'. This has occurred too many times to be ignored, so I have taken the following initiatives.
1. I have set up a rule in the blocked senders list to auto delete any mail containing the letters 'AOL'.
2. I have Emailed AOL and advised them of this and that I hold them accountable for aiding and abetting those who wish to spread these pernicious viruses, also until and unless they clean up their act they can no longer deliver mail (to me) from their paying customers. This means they are no longer providing the service that they are charging for.
The ISP industry as a whole IMO needs to get together and lobby to change the law to allow for the legal sanitisation of Email traffic: why should the end user have to be forever paying good money to keep virus protection S/W updated?
Any B-GREEKERS who are affected by my actions are free to react/respond (to AOL) as they deem appropriate.
Dr. Conrad, thanking you for your indulgence,
