Some months ago i made a post on a public newsgroup, stupidly without disguising my e-mail address to any extent. However, it wasnt my primary email address i used, just a randomname@mydomain.com. Now since then ive been getting upwards of 50 e-mails per day with virus attachments in the form of those windows update files. Now ive basically filtered the address at the server to reject any emails sent to that address but it still bugs me the amount of traffic im getting just to reject them.

Is there any way to get this sorted once and for all or do i just have to keep fighting them off?

You could contact the source's ISP to try and stop it. However, its quite likely that either (a) the source is from an unknown or russian etc ISP or (b) the source is spoofed (ie. shows one email address but is from a different one).

Basically, keep blocking them and they will eventually stop.
