[sdiy] Help - I am being mailbombed

[The Old Crow]

  Even better, have one's provider install spamassassin or bogofilter,
etc. on the server so you can procmail (instruct server to run a
process-mail script that checks each imcoming email) the obvious spam and
even pigeonhole the spams into a directory to examine just in case some
"false positives" get trapped.

  I'm still trying to locate where the worm source IP# is in this 
case--it has to be a sdiy/AH list subscriber, because I've seen other list 
members' email addresses as the spoofed "From:" address.  It is probably a 
cable modem user.
