email attack

[Joel Hammer]

Yes. Is there no end to this? I was off line for a couple of days (some
sort of weather disturbance here in MD). I couldn' t pop mail off my
email server. No matter, almost all the mail on the server is one sort
or another of an MS worm.  This is getting out of hand.

It looks like register.com, my pop mail server, doesn't have any sort
of virus filters.
