Yes ...while ssh'ing to the mail server & running Pine :) And the other guys would be using either Mozilla/Linux or *maybe* Lotus Notes; nobody would be using Outlook or the default address book that Outlook viruses prey on. So while I see what you're getting it, the address really was somehow discovered by some other channel. And this isn't the only company fake address that has been abused by Klez, and outside the IT department everyone uses Notes, so again it's not clear how these addresses could end up in an Outlook address book, but it happens. Klez is a nasty little bugger. But, like I say, if you use Macs [and/or you don't use Outlook], you don't really have much to fear from Klez or any other email virus. -- Chris Devers Have you ever seen Jack Valenti & John Ashcroft at the same time? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
