The problem is these "Virus warnings" sent a message to this list, which relayed it to thousands of other people. Also, this virus message was useless and probably incorrect. Therefore your mail server sent a useless and incorrect message to thousands of people. You can see that this message is considered rude and harmful. -jwb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
