Well, netcraft tells you what web server they are running, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are running a Linux based mail server. I know a whole lot of companies, including where I work, that run Apache on a Unix/Linux box(es) for web stuff and still run MS Exchange as the mail gateway. So, it is entirely possible that they do have a windows machine that is running AV software and sent the notices out upon receiving even innocuous attachments in mail. This is especially true if someone was polling their regular mail account and then routing the mail through the Exchange server. Or even decided to simply forward everything to their work email account. > So I reckon some windoze box connected (samba?) thru their > (mmgc) server had Symantec runnin on it, very badly engineered. Samba won't allow you to run Symantec, so I am pretty sure that those messages originated from a real Windows machine somewhere. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
