Hey guys,

My dedicated server (that's hosted under rackshack) is getting literally thousands of emails a day from people infected with the virus. It sends me attachments, though my Norton deletes them before they are received. The problem is, it's tough to distinguish which emails to disregard, and which e-mails are from real users. I use a catch-all e-mail account, so any email sent to me goes straight to my mailbox. I heard I can put a program on my server to not accept any e-mails containing the certain file extension I prohibit. Does anybody have any idea of what program this is, and where I can find it? Thanks.

MailScanner + ClamAV works great... here is a tutorial if you use CPanel
