Subject: Re: AV "feature" does more DDoS than Sobig
I dispute your claims and put it down to you dealing with things at
a very small level with people who don't usually get much email.
For over a week, I've been getting sobig email at a rate greater
than 1 per minute to just myself at this address.
That's over 1440 per day or close to 10,000 per week. How many do
your customers get?
A small fraction of it is from anti-virus products. I don't reply to
any of it and nobody gets it from me. As soon as I've marked a couple
of hundred for deletion, more have already arrived.
Darren
p.s. If you doubt the numbers I'll happily save a sample and you can
check the volume/time stamps yourself.
