    Hey Darryl!

    Wow, *PHEW*, you have _NO_ idea how eased that makes me feel.. and yeah,
    it was in the same time as the Swen started goingaround, i started
    getting those ... and i also get these "infected messages" but since i
    dont live anywhere near a windows box i dont feel That threat..

    Especially since i tested my server on abuse.net's relay test and i got
    through clean .. it has been giving me a headache trying to figure out
    the problem at hand..

    Wow.. now i guess i can start sleeping again :)

    Best regards
    /smurfd
