Those messages do not come from me, although my name & email address are in the headers. TBUDL is the second mailing list today affected by this -- virus? I exclusively use The Bat! for posting, but as you can see in the headers of the two fake posts: > X-Mailer: <SMTP32 v20010131> I've no idea what that is and I've never used it. And, there are no spam filters set up anywhere on my system. This sure is interesting, as the virus/worm has even managed to pick up a message-id that *appears* as if it could come from myself. However, the message-IDs produced by The Bat! are very differently structured. Here is one from a genuine post I sent earlier today: Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The fake ID goes (as you quoted it): Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Another interesting aspect is that the second line of the fake message is in the Czech language (and says the same thing as the English line above it). I am in Slovakia, however, and I use a Slovak, not a Czech anti-virus product: NOD32. (This has been a longstanding Czecho-Slovak rivalry: AVG vs. NOD.) I'd be intrigued to hear anyone's comments on this affair (on TBOT, of course) in case you've encountered something similar before. -- Yours, Alex. of Slovakia www.avenarius.sk [flying with The Bat! 2.00 under Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A amd k6-2 500 mhz processor with 128 mb ram] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
