Bearing in mind your bowlderised example, my simplistic answer would be
to use real domain names (that you own) in your network.  Things work a
lot easier when you don't use fake domain names.  Being able to email
between machines, for just one example.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

My apologies for not including a virus with this message, but I don't
use Windows.
