We are having the same probs here... Receiving bounces which we never sent with "Standard virus subjects" containing pif attachments...
We *know* we never sent them as these email address's only ever appear on the front of our site... Looks like theres a harvester out there collecting and sending from those addresses :( -----Original Message----- From: Sandy Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 21:08 To: CF-Community Subject: RE: The tide is high I've gotten a whole lot of bounced messages from people claiming I have a virus. But I don't have the virus. I've checked for the virus both through my anti-virus software and also manually using the info from Symantec. In addition I have a firewall on my machine that alerts me whenever anything trys to come in or go out and has to be manually authorized. Somehow my name got onto the list and is now making its rounds. But getting all these bounced messages is driving me crazy (especially since they are from domains where I have no contacts that I know of (yale.edu, deltacollege.edu, etc.). Its weird.

My spam folder has 25 emails in the last 2.5 hours containing the subjects, Wicked Screensaver, Approved, Details, Your Application, and Thank You! All with the same content, different email addresses, but from the same ip address (156.80.190.78). While typing this I just received two from a different ip. I also got this message today... Your message dated Tue, 19 Aug 2003 12:10:06 --0400 with subject "Re: Wicked screensaver" has been submitted to the moderator of the ETHICS list: Michael Blakenship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Apparently some kind of bounce, but seeing as I did a virus scan two days ago and don't use Outlook I'm fairly sure I'm not infected. I'm scanning now to make sure though.
