My ISP uses www.mailarmory.com. Really good stuff. They filter everything, and capture spam and viri. Anything they capture is available to me on the web, but in a secure format, so that any viruses, etc won't get onto my computer. They're very good about not capturing real email, except for when some screwball sends me something from a hotmail account with a suspicious subject line and stupid contents. I check my Mailarmory account about once a week, just to make sure, but just about everything they take out is genuine spam or virus-infected. - Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Herbert Graf" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 12:41 PM Subject: Re: [PICLIST] [OT:] Worm > > Change your ISP, or get your ISP/SysAdmin to run the latest and greatest > > Virus/worm/whatever protection software on all the incoming emails. > > My ISP has been protecting my incoming for more than a year now.
