it also had an attachement called message.cmd..

im very sure this is the mydoom virus..

so the question: do you have a virus filter on the email servers?
i also got an email a couple of days ago that was sent to andrew, but i dont have that mail box on my domain either.. that email had an attachement called text.zip

Jodo does not have a virus filter. and if they do, it doesnt work. Make sure you get am anti-virus software like norton anti-virus that checks your email (incoming and outgoing) Yes, that email you received IS the myDoom@ virus.

Also, If you think you have been infected, visit http://www.microsoft.com to get rid of it.

;( no virus filter??

i hate antivirus software.. it slows down the computer from my 2.4 GHz to lousy 150MHz or something..

but i have only got two of them so its no danger yet.. and i havnt been infected..

Do you suggest any antivirus tool for qmail (linux) ?

I've not used one myself, but another ISP that I use has used AMaViS (http://www.amavis.org/) for a while and I have never received an infected attachment.

I think they recently added ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/)

I'm not sure why they are running two AV programs, but my email headers indicate that both scans have been done.
