If so, please send the entire email with headers. The problem is that all of us are on a mailing list at Bestclix. This mailing list is not protected as it should be, to only allow Bestclix to send emails to the entire list. Instead, anyone sending email to the list address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) gets sent to all of us. I'm emailing the site admin about it, in the meantime, the best thing we can all do to stop these emails is to STOP responding to the messages until the admin can fix their mailing list configuration. A number of copies of the Snow White message that contains a virus are being sent to this list as well. Everyone getting this message should make sure they are running virus protection software, and if you aren't you should get some quickly from http://www.symantec.com/ because you may be one of the 4-5 people who have unknowingly been the source of these virus messages. These people don't even know they are sending them out, and think that because they didn't send a message to the list knowingly that they can't be infected. Surprise Surprise, some of them are. So in the meantime, you can check the headers, and if the headers show Bestclix.net, you can assume that the message is another message being sent through this list, and ignore it. You can also email the Bestclix.net people and get them to fix this unsecured list. But the more people who respond, the more volume of email ALL of us have to deal with. Apologies for sending this one out, but someone had to explain to everyone what is going on here. -- Best regards, William mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
