Subject: viral e-mails-- the saga continues
OK, so I have been getting a fairly high volume of infected e-mails
(like 30-50 per day) from the same IP address for a week now. The IP
address is registered to a magazine in Scottsdale. I have left phone
messages for their IS person and their CEO, to no avail. I have notified
their ISP (Qwest,) also to no avail. I am getting returned mail
messages indicating that this company is also generating viral e-mails
to others spoofed with my e-mail address. I am getting really, really
pissed about this. These clowns have had a week to clean up, and they
appear to be utterly uninterested in doing so.

I am sorely tempted to filter all viral attachments to automatically
forward to this company's published e-mail addresses. Would this be
legal? Would it be considered a denial of service attack? What
additional options do I have (besides living with this?)
