Hi,
Im as of this moment being bombarded by the I-Worm.Sobig.f virus. (about 10-20 virusmails/min)
This almost feel like a dos attack but it is way too lame thanks to MS :-) which is handling
things most efficient.

Does anybody have any good suggestions about how to trace a thing like this?
I can see in the full headers where it comes from but its comming from diffrent
originating (senders/ips) in most of the emails...

Or is it impossible due to the openness of smtp?

Cheers
