Really seems that someone is using 9fans members not only as spam destination but also as source. Yesterday I also got swamped with around 20 virus infected mails with .scr and similar attachments from all kinds of (fake) addresses. I use Bat! Mail which never executes anything (it can't) and virus scan. So I am safe, but it gets rather anoying. Could it not be possible to block a lot more, eg simply prevent attachments? I know some members, when replying, have the original message as attachments, but still... 100k of wasted bandwidth with viruses is unneeded....
