The Nimda Virus...
Because of the increased activity over the Internet, viruses and worms have become serious pests. As the Internet advances, these pests are becoming much more sophisticated. There capacity to spread across the Internet in just a matter of hours can cause serious floods of payloads to systems. One recent virus that caused, and still is causing, an up-roar across the Internet is the 'Nimda'.
What is Nimda? Nimda is a computer virus appearing first on September 18, 2001 when it caused massive delays by creating huge amounts of traffic as it spread across the Internet. Nimda has four main attach mechanisms: web server to web server (IIS 4 / 5), to desktops through an e-mail attachment called README.EXE or ADMIN.DLL; browsing infected Web sites from Windows desktop or server machines; and by shares across internal networks. Once an internal machine is infected, it is possible for the virus to spread to shared drives and machines.

Getting the most out of your mail accountEmail is the lifeline of any online business, offering a cost effective method of communication over the Internet. If you have an online presence and/or business it is essential that you have your own mail server - a mail server is a site on the web where you can have your own personal mail box. With a mail server you can send and receive mail to just about anyone on the Internet. However there is a lot more to having a mail account then just sending and receiving mail, such as auto-responders, forwarders, aliases, mailing lists and catch all mailboxes.
Aliases Make sure that you can set up as many aliases as you like with your ISP. An alias is another name for an email address or a number of addresses. Many ISP allow you to have multiple aliases such as sales@yourdomain.com and support@yourdomain.com.
Auto-responders An auto-responder is an automatically generated email message that provides static information to the recipient. For example, if an email is sent to one of your email addresses an email will be sent automatically to the sender of the email.
Forwarders Make sure you check with your ISP that you can set up forwarders. Forwarding is where different aliases can be forwarded to one or more email addresses. For example, if you have the email address info@yourdomain.com, you can set up a forwarder so that all emails sent to info@yourdomain.com are forwarded to your other email address sales@yourdomain.com.
