No, you are fine. This virus sends out its spawn using a return address it picks up from the infected computer along with all the target addresses. In otherwords, someone that has your wife's email address on their computer is infected. But you and your wife are fine, it is a Windows only virus. You got all the rejects because the return address was forged by the virus to appear to be coming from you (well, your wife). So all the bad addresses, and the one caught by a virus scanner, bounce back to your wife. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
