Signed up Twist, I, Jim, Mopar among others to Spam
and sending virus's.



I had the same. A while back, there was a rather sudden increase in Spam.
Now it is about 7Mb of large files every day - I suspect they may be
viruses, but my filter deletes them on the server.

BTW: Be aware that the messages are forging the "return" address so, if you
bounce the mail, an innocent person who is also suffering the mail bombing
will get your bounce messages.
You may even start getting "bounce" and automatic "virus" warning messages,
as your address will be forged in some messages... I have already started
getting such messages from anti-virus systems. But, they get deleted on the
server just the same.
As I do not use that address or account to send mail, any "bounce" or
"virus" messages are either faked (to get me to open the virus infected
mail) or a response to a forged e-mail message.

I am considering allowing the e-mail box to just fill up... it is 100% spam
in the box anyhow.
