W32.Swen*@mm virus

[Jasonc]

I have been getting a LOT of emails and know that they did contain this
virus


The attachment was infected with the W32.Swen.A@mm virus.


my question is: are there any email providers that have the option to delete
emails while on the server,

server side of the emails you can filter them to a number of folders and
also move to the trash can, but this is still part of the mail box size you
are allowed to use, so this does not solve the problem,

I think the email providers should ad this filter to include a 'permanently
delete' filter that completely removes the emails that fit the filter
criteria.

I believe that this is the ONLY way to solve the virus in question.


cheers

follow the method here, the filter mentioned has been updated to reflect
changes in the email header
I think it will work with the yahoo.co.uk account

will this work when my pc is turned off? will it still delete them from the
server while my pc is off through the night? I think this is a bit like
mailwasher, which only works while the pc is on.

sorry, works only when you are connected,
very much like mailwasher, except free for use with unlimited accounts
