Of course it is a spoof. But it is the first time I have ever gotten one coming in with pdml as the fake sender. I posted the heads up, so some unsuspecting list member would not get caught by one like it.

BTW, when you think of it, it almost has to come deliberately from someone on the list. They would have to know that I am subscribed to the list, they would have to know how the list resets the mail. It is not the sort of thing e-mail bomb software does automatically.

Subject: PDML Virus Alert




I just received an e-mail purported to be from

[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a

subject of "Re: Your Software", and an attachment named

"application.pif".

If you get such a message do not open the attachment.

There are two things that should warn you: 1. The list will not

relay mail that

has attachments. 2. Anything you get with a .pif attachment is most

likely a

Trojan Horse type virus.

Luckily I run all other filters before the PDML one.


The email address is a spoof. If you pull the message source, you can
probably trace the message back to the originator, if you are so
inclined.
