Most likely not. Somebody on this list is badly infected and they are
essentialy, through the virii, they have now are sending out emails with the
list as the sender. When the recipient servers are receiving these emails
they are warning about the virus by sending more emails back. Since the
sender is shown to be this list the emails when they are bounced from the
recipient servers bounce it back through this list. At that point we all get
to see the warnings.
If you want to stop this find the guy with the virus infected windows box and
make him either
1) stop using windows or
2) clean the virii off of his system.
- From the severity of this and form other systems I have been seeing in my shop
over the last few days he may even need to format his drive and start over
from scratch. There are some pretty bad virii floating around lately that do
allot of damage and also comprimise your personnal security, ie. credit card
numbers anbd such.

Well yes they could but the possibility of getting false positives is there
also. Myself I run spamassassin on my mail servers and I have put filters in
place to see this stuff as spam. I have also used bayes tolearn the paterns
as spam. This works very well for me and my customers.
