Old stuff.

This is mildly amusing:

Some virus or other tried to use a dummy liuart account to send e-mail. That in itself is not amusing. But the target recipient is a jwscott@*****.com. Coincidentally, the large, unpleasant landlady in the Curious George movie is named J. W. Scott. The fact that a not-yet-created fictional character that I happen to know about is getting spammed - is mildly amusing.

Amusement aside, would there happen to be any way to block e-mails sent from my domain that aren't from a specific address?

Well, I mean blocking them from being sent, to others. Although, I guess the virus thing could've just stuck the random address in the "from" field without having actually sent it through that domain... Oh well.

Um... yeah, that's usually what viruses do. I get as many "You tried to send me a virus!" emails as I do the viruses themselves to my website email addresses. They're not really sabotaging your mail server (at least, not usually). Annoying, but there's little you can do about it.
