Does it matter? I was fairly busy between the readme.txt and the W32.Nimda
to not worry about the specifics. If it came from SANS, that's where it came
from. I'm sorry if that offends you but what can I do? Actually, since I got
it off this list, why don't you analyze it and tell us what you find.

So you actually looked at the smtp source and saw that it actually had the
attachment in the email and not just a fragment?

It's not a rumor, it's what happened. That this e-mail got to one of their
people and propagated is disturbing. Antigen caught it at my GW and didn't
send it anywhere. What's there excuse?

Careful before spreading such a rumor, the detecters may well be
oversensiitve at this point. McAffee did the same to me *because* a guy had
posted to the mailing lust and email containing  a portion of the
javascript. I would suggest considering the source of teh messaging being
blocked, that it is like they the message was benign and they too had a
portion of code in it that set the alarm bells off.
