In an effort to prevent Freeola users from further being affected by the Sobig.F vurus, our mail servers are blocking is any any .pif attachment. This is the methid the Sobig.f is using to propogate.

Due to the nature of this virus, it is actually killing the POP accounts of people who are running up to date virus guards as well as those who arn't.

Thier POP accounts are getting filled up with thousands of e-mails containing the virus and also bounce back warning from e-mails sent from other PC's spoofing the mail as being sent from them. There is just to much mail for them to download.

To prevent this from further affecting Freeola users, We are now blocking and returning all mail being sent to the Freeola servers with these .pif attachments.

This should not affect many/if any users as who actually sends .pif files? If you do need to receive a .pif file, just get the sender ot Zip it up first and then send it.
