Tom, I got one as well, It had a drakelist
address on it but fortunately Norton got it and put it in the spam folder,How does it get the drakelist address on it and then to the list??, sorry if that is a dumb question…

The infected computer sends emails to anyone the person has ever received an email from, and it uses random names from the list as the person the email is from.

The list is not moderated (as in every post is read BEFORE it is posted), the email is checked to see if it comes from a registered user's email address and is posted.

Because the infected computer has a list of everyone who ever posted an email to this list that was received by it, it is possible for the email sent to the list be from a randomly chosen list member and it gets through with an innocent bystander being blamed for it.
