those Microsoft Outlook (Express)/Internet Explorer users who give a sh** about security || privacy really sucks. Specially Microsoft extremely sucks, because they make such worms etc. possible. So I updated my mailfilter config: http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/~gsauthoff/mailfilterrc (the regular expression catches nearly every 150 KB Message - but false-positives are always possible) Mailfilter deletes the messages at the pop3 server wihout downloading. Currently I get 60 Messages / hour. Thank you Microsoft. Fortunetly I don't have to pay the traffic, but unfortunetly I have a mailbox quota and have to pay for the internet connection.
