In answer to Nadav's message, I actually think this is relevant - not to LINUX but to the ILUG mailing list. I also got one of these messages, but the Subject was Re: APM problem. So it seems to me that however this worm is being transmitted, it somehow **knows** about various subject on the list. Is it possible that there is some access to the server or mailing list? I wonder if others have recieved similar messages but with different ILUG related subjects.
