Hi, I'm having some troubles with worms in my qmail. There is a Worm that sends thousands e-mails to aol.com and they are crashing my qmail-queue . What is wrong ? Can anyone help me ???? Thanks. Bruno Fantoni Bruno, I fixed a problem like this for a cable company. Some of their cablemodem customers got infected by a virus that loaded down the cable company mail servers. The first thing to do is clean the infection. You must identify the systems that are infected and clean them. Once the traffic is no longer being generated, just clean out your queue. In my case, I had to rely on the customer to clean their PCs of infection. Until that was accomplished, I blocked their network traffic. The customer cablemodem connection was useless because they were being blocked until their systems were clean. The company mail servers no longer received the infected emails since they were blocked by iptables on the server. That motivated the customer to clean out the viruses. It is useless to try and filter emails from infected systems. The infection must be cleaned, and infected systems should just be completely BLOCKED.
