FLUXLIST: viruses really!

[allen bukoff]

If it really came from @fluxus.org I will need to contact the hosting 
service and make them check it out (although they are supposed to keep this 
from happening).

It is possible that even though it said it was from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it 
might have really been sent from elsewhere.  IF YOU STILL have the email, 
can you look at the extended header information to see if you can tell 
where it really originated from....OR carefully cut and paste the extended 
header info and email it to me (sans virus attachment, of course) for 
investigation.  Some email clients (MS Outlook Express?) hide this header 
info garbage, so you might need to click on a button or two to reveal this 
info.

There is a lot virus email going around these days.  One of the strategies 
that some virus-creators use is to try to produce incoming email that the 
receiver will think is "friendly" or from a "known source."

Here is what the "extended header" info looks like from the email you just 
sent to Fluxlist:
