I have one particular email address that is very prone to receiving virus mail. Don't know why that one in particular. Yesterday, I decided I was sick of going through deleting virus-infested messages by hand, and set up a mail filter in pine to drop everything sent to that address into a separate folder.

Today, I opened my "Potentially Spam" folder to discover that I had received 717 virus emails in 22 hours. 708 of them from the same person. Erk. 708 x 40k makes... 28MB? Yikes!

I wonder if I can tell my ISP to bounce back everything sent from that address? I'm sure I can set up the local machine to drop it all in /dev/null, but maybe if the idiot whose Outlook Express is sending this stuff out got 700 bounce messages a day, she might clean up her machine.

Oh, hang on - I'm crediting lusers with common sense *sigh*.

grrr

Mad panicking rush to the pharmacy this morning because I thought I'd run out of one of my Drugzz (TM). Get home to find that actually I had an unopened packet of 28 in the drawer where I keep medicines. So why couldn't I find that yesterday? Also, for some unknown reason I have 5 blue inhalers but only 1 brown one, so if anyone needs some Bricanyl I'm your man... er, woman.

I wouldn't mind, except it would seem that my stomach didn't appreciate going for a brisk walk first thing in the morning, and now most of my digestive system is busy going bleurgle ergle ergle and I feel really quite uncomfortable. Haven't been near anything with dairy in since Monday (when I completely and utterly overdosed on it, as there wasn't much in the way of vegetarian food that didn't involve cheese and/or butter) so I don't know what its problem is... stupid broken body.
