I will repeat what I said on the Arachne list, and I would appreciate it if some of you might pass the word. I have not sent anyone any viruses.
If people would look up what is written about at least one of the newest Dozerwarez viruses, not only can the piece of snit software harvest e-dresses from address books and saved html pages, it also has upgraded so that the From: can be forged and one of those harvested e-dresses blamed for the e-mail. I use Arachne and only Arachne for processing e-mail. Attachments to Arachne do NOT happen secretly, nor is mail sent secretly. I cannot even *receive* e-mail with viruses attached; my ISP has Amavis in place, and when an infected e-mail is sent to me it is sent to the bit bucket and I simply get a notice that e-mail containing such and such a virus was sent to me by so and so. If I attempt to include or attach a virus to outgoing e-mail, it is *stopped* by my ISP. It even stopped my initial reply to Steven's message because I had quoted the small amount of UUE encoded message he had attached. Anyone who believes they got infected e-mail from me is invited to tell *me* and not the world in general ... and, if possible, they should forward full headers at least, or the message in zipped format password protected so it can get past the Amavis virus firewall.
