How To Block mails sent by viruses?

^-^Neko
Dear All,

Some viruses attacking outlook would take some adresses from the adress book and mail out nonsense email with the victim as a sender...

Sometimes attached to the emails there is a .dat file...but sometimes nothing...

How is it possibile to avoid this from happening? Would "enable SMTP athentication" do the job?

Please note that the virus might not be detected... but would be important to block this kind of emails... since it might happen that the virus would forward sensitive content...

thank you!

    SMTP Auth would help (unless the virus was going through Outlook and using its settings), but it would require you to set that on all the client machines.  The best approach would be SPAM and AV scanning on the Astaro box, and AV scanning on the mail server and all clients/servers.
