Slightly OT: FT User "Barry" with ISP "Optonline" please remove your Virus!!!!
 
This morning I am being bombarded with virus infected emails, all from the same user:

BARRY-KG56NXQMJ (ool-18bd9605.dyn.optonline.net

As it's from my deals email address I'm quite sure it's a Flyertalker. If you know of someone called Barry with the ISP Optonline please let him know that his PC is infected.

Me too...my FT mailbox is filling itself every 24 hours http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif
&lt;and the virus takes from: and to: information out of the address book of the infected computer, so it could be from anybody, unless you already examined the headers closely to see where it originated&gt;

Yes, I looked at the X-originating IP, I've now just blocked it on my server as 400 emails an hour was a little too much...
