WORST EVER VIRUS (CNN announced) A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever! This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed. This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored. This virus acts in the following manner: a.. It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title A Virtual Card for You. b.. As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened, the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. c.. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed,the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN. This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don't open any mails with subject: A Virtual card for You. As soon as you get the mail, delete it. Please pass this mail to all of your friends. Forward this to everyone in your address book. Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently. If you receive an email called An Internet Flower For You, do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your computer. Your computer will not be able to boot up !! PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

Re: networksorcery.com spam
*Steps out on proverbial limb* Under the current description that I have seen, this email is in fact SPAM because you are not expecting it. I personally did not receive this message, and have been on the IETF list for awhile, without participating much. Guess you could call me a lurker... Here's my point, I don't know much about this guy, but what has happened according to what I have seen is he is trying to compile a list (perhaps to sell, perhaps to give away free) to the public, and more importantly companies. He has sent out an email to everyone who has published or participated in an RFC, most likely because he wants to ask permision to publish their name to avoid any legal entanglements. IMHO, a SPAM email is the typical 'loose hundreds of pounds now' or 'free live teen girls stripping' type emails. Emails that come out of the blue and honestly have no relevance. The other day I received an offer for free pantyhose, and I'm a 19 year old male. I don't wear pantyhose, and don't intend to start. I guess my point is, from what it sounds like, this guy wasn't intentionally spamming you, he was just trying to ask your permission or give you a heads up on what's going on. Email him regarding the subjexct, but don't bring it out onto the IETF list. worse than anything is the amount of SPAM that gets sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and some other mailing lists I'm on where THE ENTIRE LIST is spammed. I doubt this guy has sent out a REALLY LARGE email message to you with pictures and stuff or attachments. But if this email message is such a problem then why not post it to the list so we can get an idea of how bad it is? *Steps back to the shadows, engages anti-flame device, tables the whole spamming issue* * TRAICOVN --- http://www.traicovn.com * On Fri, 20 Jul 2001, Marshall T.

I spend a lot of time as postmaster for a lot of domains digging out from under spam. It is NOT a mole hill to me or a lot of other folks on this list. Opt-out just does not scale in an internet world. hi. we're not talking about a mail list so the issue of opt-in/out is meaningless. all we have is this: a guy authors an rfc and gets an e-mail by someone maintaining a public database of rfc authors. there is only one thing that calling this spam achieves -- it reduces the impact of the term spam. when a word means all things, it means nothing. let's keep the powder dry for real spam, shall we? /mtr
