![]() ![]() How can I block the ILOVEYOU virus ? |
Some email viruses can be blocked using domain processing rules which can be implemented by your domain administrator. This includes the ILOVEYOU virus (VBS.LoveLetter.A). To block this virus using rules follow this procedure: 1. Login to WebMail using root@domainname (change domainname for your domain name) as username with the password for your dialup account. 2. Select the "Domain Processing Rules" option. 3. Add a rule that contains the following data: Seach mail when the: Body contains Search String: KINDLY CHECK THE ATTACHED LOVELETTER to the Mailbox: VirusThis will more mail containing "KINDLY CHECK THE ATTACHED LOVELETTER" to a folder called "Virus". This folder can be browsed with WebMail to determine whether the blocked messages should be deleted. Note that this will also block messages notifying you of the virus since they will probably contain the same text on the body. Domain processing rules help in preventing the propagation of email viruses but are not a substitute for updated antivirus software. For full protection, users should have updated antivirus software on their equipment. | |
