I now have filters in place to cull the messages with virus-infected attachments. Prior to setting up the filters this morning, there were over 500 messages with 50 megs of attachments in the mailbox. Feel free to bug me to death again!

One of our members was infected by the SoBig.F virus that's been floating around, which resulted in vast numbers of e-mails/attachments being sent to everyone in his mailing list. As a result, I've temporarily disabled the webmaster@uzitalk.com account. If you need to reach me, please use PM.
