Hi Jim, well, Bagle, maybe!
But our mail gateway has held back DOZENS of Netsky copies to me this week
already. Because all those viruses use fake sender addresses it is virtually
impossible to guess (from the IP) who is the actually infected person.
If one - maybe even past - list member is infected, people who have posted
to the list and are therefore known to that list member will get virus mail
"from each other" (in reality from the one list member of course, but the
fake sender addresses...).

The only thing which helps is making everybody update their antivirus software.
I think http://www.bitdefender.com/ and http://www.free-av.com/ are free for
private use.




Eric.
