[OT] Handling Returned Virus Mail

[Stephen Barncard]

Change your email address.
Then for a transition period hook up the old address to a 
auto-responder to direct people to a web page with a small cgi that 
can forward a small message. Like this:

http://barncard.com/contact/

  The people that really need to get to you can still do so, and you 
can send a mass email to close associates.

I know it's painful to change a cherished address, but it's really 
the best way. At some point, when the email address ends up on lists, 
one has no chance.
