Well, I must say I'm not seeing any great reduction in them yet :(

I run a lightly loaded mail server handling several domains, but one of those
domains in particular has been getting very heavily hit by Sobig since it
first started.

I've seen a gradual reduction over the past couple of weeks, presumably as
people have cleaned their machines up, but I've seen no great decrease over
the past 24-48 hours.   Still getting something like 500 a day (which,
thankfully, is 10% of what it was when it first started).

I would speculate that the idiots who still have Sobig on their machines may
have the clock set to the wrong date, except that Sobig sets the clock right
for them....

Oh well,

Antony.
