Hi Lorenzo, Unfortunately this probably isn't your fault (meaning there's nothing you can do about it). There are several worms which target M$ Outlook, and the way they work is they hijack the user's address book and send out the virus disguised as an email from someone in the address book. So, it's not you that's actually sending the message but instead is an Outlook user who has your email addy in his/her address book, and got one of these worms. You may want to email friends and associates and tell them to get their puters (including mail) checked out by reliable antivirus software, especially if you know they are using Outrage. --Lee -- ----------------------- What The...? http://www.what-the.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
