You can convince everyone that has your e-mail to upgrade from Windows to a Mac, FreeBSD, or Linux ;) I try to always hand out different aliases each time I give out my e-mail so at least I'll know who is infected with CodeRED/Nimbda and then if I get an angry e-mail response to something supposedly from me I can track down the source even without the headers. Another thing to do is get the full e-mail from someone that gets something supposedly from you and have the first forwarder of the e-mail find out what IP it came from, and hence who is sending the thing. Unfortunately when you join a list like NYCWireless someone on it is bound to be running Windows, so viruses will be sent out in your name... :|
