The only problem with this idea is that it also blocks legit emails. If I put this on my SF Blocked to list then I would not get any emails because my name is on the list as are many of my email clients.

I have been using .285beta for almost a week now and have been able to block about 95% of all Mydoom infected files and by using the SQL query that was posted on this site last week purge them from the DB as needed.

I would recommend that you try the latest beta and see how that works.

hi ,

Thanks your reply.But can you give me the solution clearly ?

"Add these names (replacing yourdomainhere.com with your own domain) to your  'to emails' black list ". What do I do now?

You might want to consider a new email naming convention.  I've always used first initial + last name@mycompany.com .  (or firstname.lastname@mycompany.com) That way if anyone tries to get in with a list of first names, they wouldn't succeed.

There's a setting under

 

settings>black/white lists

 

click 'to emails'

place in here the list of emails coming to your domain with non legitimate emails names that you want to block
