Given that the worm forges it's source address to a random value, the ONLY requirement to recieve an infected email from somebody is that they have have at some point recieved an email from you (either directly or via some mailing list) in the past, and they still have your email on their system. > Most of you probably has spamfilters that would hide this mail from > you, but shurley if it comes from gentoo-dev more people then I would > get these mails. Plenty of us get viral and other spam on a daily basis (for several months now), and even bounce messages for other virii that forge our addresses (even our @gentoo.org ones). Set up some filtering for yourself I use qmail-scanner + spamassassin + procmail to handle all of my stuff. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
