Tell me about it. I set up clamav just to see how much stuff gets by their
scans. Every new variant of Bagle and sobig slips right on through unmolested
for several days before they start catching them. And spamassassin averages
about 130 spams per week just for one email account.

And don't waste your time reporting the zombies. They either don't care or
they truly have a staff of Minesweeper Certified Solitaire Experts. The last
one that I reported, I sent the full headers showing that it originated from
RR. I got an email back saying that if I had bothered to look at the headers,
I would have seen that it was sent from a mail gateway (mgwrr) and that I
should report it to the owner of the gateway and not RoadRunner. So I looked
at the header again thinking that I might have missed something...
mgwrr...Mail Gate Way Road Runner... Riiight... Guess they really do
understand that it is 0wn3d by someone else then. ;)
