Re: Current "Swen" worm attack

I got around 200 spam in the last two days and my mailbox at the isp hit
the maximum capacity and started rejecting good emails.  
This is the biggest spam-tsunami I have experienced.

If I had a $$$static ip/hostname/mail server at home, I would preferably
do the server-side filtering myself through the open source spam
filtering tools that already exist.  As it stands, I am presently forced
to configure a spam-filter plug-in into my mail client.

Spam-removal plug-ins for mail clients and server-side spam-removal
services will certainly have their demand increase.  
Since it seems there isn't enough spam filtering being done out there
with the other developer languages at the mail server(both send&receive)
end of things, maybe an ada eager-beaver would like to jump on an
opportunity to increase the ada95 exposure through ada-based mail
applications and show them out it should be done.

Cheers,
