You may in fact be seeing the address harvested from someone that you don't know and you won't reach with any of your emails. Most of the newer viri don't bother with the address book any more. Instead, they simply go thru the email located anywhere in the email client, and pull addresses found anywhere in the email. That means, if one of your friends sent you a forwarded joke, and sent it to 20 of their friends (including people that you probably don't know, and certainly don't have in your address book), and they didn't BCC the addresses, and one of those people is now infected... your address can be pulled and used. And to make it worse, if one of those recipients whom you may not know, thought the joke was funny, and forwarded it to 20 of their friends that you definitly don't know, have never heard of, and have no way of locating... AND they failed to clean the email headers, which means your address was left in there... then you may be getting a virus from one of those people... or anyone they sent it to before cleaning the headers. You may in fact have your address located on computers of people that you can't even track the chain back to how they got your address. So basically... its unlikely that you will be able to totally stop getting the virus emails, no matter how many times you ask people to be sure your address isn't in their address book. Setup filters on your end to either block or throw out the emails, and worry about them no more. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
