Hi,
Yesterday at school the support people mentioned that a new virus had
crashed
their mail server. Then my employer said she had received numerous virus
infected emails last night. Last night and today I've been getting bounces,
some of which said "hey this message YOU sent has a virus in it", and all of
which had an attachment of some kind (probably the aforementioned virus).
However, I have been using Linux almost exclusively for the past 2 weeks and
the odd time I have booted to Win2k, I have not sent or received email.
It's a common practice by spammers to fake a from: from a valid mailbox.
Usually they get these addresses from web pages and public mailing lists like
this one. :-( Viruses should also do this.
[]s, Fernando Lozano
