.vsd is a visio drawing. Did you mean .vbs? We've quarantined a _bunch_ so far. -ls- Christian Nielsen <cnielsen () nielsen net> wrote:
Just block .vsd files from coming in. Filter them all at the border (thanks msft). I guess most of us are running unix based mailers so we dont get to see the effects/affects of these great news worthy viruses. can anyone tell me one time they could not do their job cause they counldnt read a .vsd file? If you look at the .vsd file, you see it is very easy to re-do, send some other string and on its way it goes to destroy mail servers around the world. Without blocking all .vsd files at the border, theses DOS attacks will flood our emails over the next few weeks. just my two cents....

Also, if you use sendmail, there is a patch available for Sendmail 8.9.x ... doesn't work with 8.10.x - available in the normal places - which will stop the virus at your gateway.. "Branden R.
