Arrrgh.

Had some email weirdness tonight. In moving an old mailbox from and old mail server to a new one... some ~really old~ (some almost 10years old) mail ended up being re-scanned by the antivirus system. Had file types that are now banned by the system (.exe, .lnk... yadda yadda) and some stuff that maybe hadn't even been scanned before. Way before my time.

So... the system does its job and sends a notification to sender and recipient letting them know their mail was quarantined.

Unfortunately... the recipient address in many cases was the all-company distro list. Dozen or more cases...

Oh, fertheluvva... Scary automated spam going to everybody... what a nightmare.

Had to send out a "remain calm... " followup.

Why, oh why, do we let people keep ten year old email?

[sigh]

Just a quick note to everyone that I was invited back to a meeting of the Michigan Military Moms tonight. After a bit of talking (they heard most of my spiel last time), they presented me with an envelope with a thank-you card in it, and $300+ in cash. They said the money came from skipping gifts to each other at their Christmas party.

I'll scan the card, and post it at the site. Just remember, they only know "Rick", but the sentiments go out to all you folks, too.
