Hi Summmoner Yuna !

I already have a Anti Virus Protection for Exchange.
It cleans all message whit the virus My DOOM.
But my problem is all the invalid emails created by that virus (its not message whit virus, it's just emails created and send by people that have that virus)
That emails are, many of them, invalid (Eg: invalid combination of host/domain,  or mailboxs that do not exist) and I receive so much, that cause delay of the delivery of the valid emails !
Im looking for a tool that can abort that invalid emails or even rejected (Eg: if all that invalid emails have the same size it cleans all by that size)



I will aprecciatte you help
Best Regards

Hi,

I think hat happens is this (correct me if I'm wrong):

Some PC(s)  infected with mydoom has your Email/Domain-Address stored somewhere and sends out infected Mails with your address (and/or a ficticious address in your domain) as faked sender adress (see mydoom descriptions)

then you get the answers from Mailserverscanners that suppose the infected mails come from you

There's not really much ou can do about it easily:
- setup filters that filter out ANY replys from mailservers due to invalid adresses/viruses (risky and difficult)
- setup filters that filter out ANY replys from mailservers due to mydoom/viruses: would probably only work, if you could analyse the mailtext and/or header for occurences of "mydoom" and its alias names, or at least for the usual attachment names used by mydoom
