Hello Sniffer Folks,
Please be aware that there are several spam and possibly virus
(other malware?) campaigns being transmitted with my madscientist
address and possibly other addresses from our company in the From:
headers and SMTP envelope.
Though this has happened in the past at
That brings a question up...why do some/many/most postmasters feel that it
is so important to notify senders of a virus to a spoofed email address?
Also, I have yet to see a legitimate email that contained a virus..so why
not turn the notification off all together?
Just curious...

IMO, you're absolutely right. These days, automated responses are just
as bad (for the same reasons) as challenge/response systems. They
amplify spam and malware issues by generating outscatter.
None the less, they still happen.
