My apologies to the list. That last email was intended for my Tech Support desk.

This one could get pretty serious. I've already updated our Antispam and Antivirus software. Hopefully That will catch the vast majority. Art. -----Original Message----- From: R. Scott Perry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 7:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] JPEG virus now in the wild For the first time ever, a JPEG virus in now in the wild. This is the problem that everyone had been dreading for years. It is now possible for a machine that is behind an extremely secure firewall to receive a virus simply by going to a website (even some legitimate websites, such as eBay), or previewing an E-mail. http://www.easynews.com/virus.txt has details on the virus that was just released. Now is the time to patch every computer that you can (if possible -- some programs with the GDIPlus.dll vulnerability are from companies that are now out of business). http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-028.mspx is one place to start. Also, you need to make sure that your AV software detects these. For Declude Virus users, we recommend upgrading to v1.80 (at http://www.declude.com ). v1.80 will detect this exploit, even if you have Declude Virus configured not to scan .jpg files. If you are using other mailserver AV software, you can check with your vendor. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
