I filled in the gaps in the Arachne list resulting from misdoings at
Bluegrass Net. One message in arachne-digest V1 #2140 contained a virus that
caused the message, sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to the quarantine area
at Bluegrass Net rather than to me directly. I was then able to have the
message delivered as is, knowing that the virus wasn't going to do anything to
me in non-Win32. It looks like the virus might have faked
[EMAIL PROTECTED] From-address, message was sent to an AOL address but
bounced by the AOL server after detecting the virus, back to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], meaning it was then sent to everybody on that list.
Michael or whoever is in charge, you need to disable [EMAIL PROTECTED]
so people on that list won't all get the viruses, Chinese spams, Nigeria spams
and other junk that might be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I copy an excerpt of that message including enough to indicate what the AOL
server did, and the headers of the offending message; I truncate the virus:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
