RE: Virus infected e-mail sent from this list?

[Salameh, Malcolm (ETC - MLAJA)]

Agreed. I think there is some fantastic information being sent around
amongst us but I also received the exact same thing. Again, I am protected
by virus scanning on my mail server but I'm not sure how many others are.
Again, from Brendan Choi and again - prettypark. This mail list is for
sending and receiving idea's on SSH not sending programs and viruses. I
believe [EMAIL PROTECTED] is out unless he can explain what he has done.

-Thanks, Mal

Subject: Virus infected e-mail sent from this list?


Hello,

     Something very strange is going on.  I just received a notification
from my
e-mail gateway that it intercepted a virus-infected e-mail (containing the
PrettyPark.Worm virus) that was sent to me from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.  

     Luckily enough, my e-mail gateway scans for viruses and disinfects
whenever
possible.  SO, I didn't get the e-mail and it didn't do anything bad to my
computer.

     However, upon further examination of the quarantined e-mail, I could
see
that it originally came from "Brendan Choi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

     Therefore, I would like to know if this list is a closed?  That is, in
order to post a message to the list, do you first need to subscribe?   If
so,
then I think that Mr. Choi should be immediately removed.  If this is not
the
case, then I sincerely think that we should close the list to all outsiders
and
only let members post messages.

     I am interested in hearing the opinions of others on this list.

     Thanks!

Anthony
