No, it wont help....Its a hoax -----Original Message----- From: RBHATIA [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 10:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Will this keep viruses from sending email through the address boo k ?
I recently read an article about a way to keep mass emailing viruses from using your address book to infect other systems. Create an entry in the Global Address book on Exchange or on your personal address book such AAAAAAA - In the window below where it prompts you to enter the new email address, type in [EMAIL PROTECTED] The "name" AAAAAAA will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. But when it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA, it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected. Will this trick work ? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
