PGP/GPG is not solution, too. 90% of the people who recieve the e-mails don't know anything about faking the "From:" header field, or about finding the origin of the message according to the "Received:" header fields. Let's focus on that 90% only: 100% of that 90%, don't know anything about PGP/GPG. Moreover, even if they knew, you had to contact them and tell them that all your authentic messages are signed. But you can't proove it. And you may need to repeat this action hundreds times. And in any case, almost all of them will never contact you, but only hate you in their heart. So you will never know that you "infected" them, and you will not have any chance to tell them about PGP/GPG. Friends, please give up! THERE IS NO SOLUTION! And by trying to find solutions to clear your name, you look pathetic and Sisyphean just like trying to prove to the world that Israel is the victim and Arafat is the bad guy. If you were not lucky, and your address was included in the "black lists" of one of these viruses, then thousands of viruses were sent under your name to many people, most of them are going to hate you, and you will never know it. If you are religious, the only thing that may help is to pray. If you are not, even pray will not help you. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
