what's annoying me is that I'm getting two sorts, one with the virus
(stripped along the way) and the bouncebacks from people I've never heard
of where my address/domain has been spoofed from a totally different IP
address - doublewhammy!

And I've noticed a whole load more of those microsoft security ones too.

Are we at war? is this what it's going to be like? a slow but steady
tide of spam and virus emails taking away the facility of email we've
enjoyed so that $ir micro$haft gets his evil way - paid for email, but
waive the charge on genuine emails..

yeah right! - I bet M$ will get a % on every mail delivered.

I can imagine the scene now : "no Granny, click on approve when you get
email from me, otherwise it costs me money, Granny? Granny are you there?
I said click on approve...."

There's a precedent you know, remember the penny post? - made letter
writing commonplace but look at the price and the service now.....

*And* it's just started snowing here in Sheffield.


Grumpy? Moi?
