I've even submitted a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking that they
trash all mail containing an attachment of your_details.zip. The bounce
with fictitious From header is how this DoS virus spreads. The bounce
either leaves the attachments in tact, or embodies them in the email.
I'm sending requests to all smtp providers I receive a bounce notice
from asking them to consider not bouncing the virus mail. Join together
in this and perhaps we can end the participation of the smtp providers
in the DoS.
Earnie.

These days, it's almost getting to the point where one has to put a virus
filter in front of any autoresponder, or you end up sending a ton of
autoresponses to people who never mailed you.
