You have to remember that unless you are reading the email headers to get an ip address to verify they are different, then you can't go by the from address in an email.  SMTP allows for email address spoofing and sobig does just that.  It may be one person on this list.  Though, I agree that security is always a top priority, and one should always have a security plan.   Wade -----Original Message----- From: Stefan H Westlund [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 5:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [castor-dev] All those viruses... Hello!   I really have to say that i'm totally stunned that all too many of you developers out there pass on those viruses by activating them by *your* doubleklick. They do not spread by themselves (at least not the latest sobig.f).   A better security-mind wouldn't hurt too much. At least install the latest patches and virusscanners please. Next time your 6-months projectfiles might be erased by a nasty one.   Best Regards/ Stefan Westlund
