Just curious as to how many,other than myself, received a million junk emails today from Colonia Acres as a result of a virus.

same... but I just put a domain level filter on... I run our mail server so no biggy.

I also added them to the subscription blacklist that other mail servers use... Some of them update their filters very often so I imagine a lot of Canadian mail servers are turning away Colonial traffic right now.

I got a tonne as well. One spam from colonial acres, and EVERYTHING else was a bunch of braindead people that just kept yelling "STOP SENDING ME MAIL". I think we need internet driving licenses.

Colonial explained on their web site that their e-mail provider accidentally had replies being copied to everyone on the mailing list.

So, all those brainiacs that were screaming for it to stop were causing others to scream in response. It was hilarious.
