Every virus in existence these days sends itself out with a made-up From: line that it found on whoever's hard drive it's infected, which is also where it finds all the people's addresses to send itself _to_ as well. The person who they're coming from isn't a hacker nor are they trying to stitch you up, it's some e-mail friend or contact of yours; they've gotten infected by the virus, it's sending itself out from their machine automatically, it's spoofing your name because that's one of the email addresses it snarfed off the local hard drive, there's no hacker, no viruses are bein sent on purpose, there's no malicious intent or even any kind of intent at all behind it, nobody's after you, there will be no film at 11 or any other time, and you just flushed a perfectly good email account for nothing! cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

That's what they always say to distract and lull you into a false sense of security.

Fred -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ He's using Charter. I know. A friend of mine was getting viruses and reports from Bellsouth. But our systems are clean. Looking at the email heading from what he had, the hacker is from Montgomery, Alabama and uses Charter as his ISP. There already is someone I've seen in person from this list. I was gone for a week and recognized him at the place where I at. He and I both were there at the same time. Coincidence? I think not. Especially when this person had a snobbish behavior. He knows me from this list. I like Cygwin. I believe in Cygwin. I eat, sleep and drink Cygwin. I also enjoy Star Trek and Star Wars. Someone else thinks I have stolen codes. To what? What stolen codes do I have? I know programming, I have written many programs in C and BASIC and Assembler on everything from a VIC 20 to what I have now. I even have experience on main frames, from the days when you used punch cards. My card did something to the base computer. No one will tell me. I don't know what it did. All I did was punch a few holes in a blank card and handed it back to my scoutmaster. This was 1981. I earned the Computer Science merit badge. So Yes. I have a reason to be here. I might not have gone to a university to further the education, but I learned the rest on my own. I bought every one of those computers. The VIC, the 128, the Amiga, The Tandy, the 286, the 386, the Compaq Presario and now an HP. I'm a programmer, not a hacker as the newspeople reports hacking. I do my programming by trial and error. I don't break into other computers, such as users computers or business computers. I am also a LAN administrator. I try to keep the hackers out. All three have firewalls. And the hackers can't find them any more.

My youngest brother. The other is in Montgomery, Alabama. Look at headers sometime, and you can tell where the message are coming from. My friend pointed me out to one. It was sending email using my actual encoded account address from the server. But the address of the machine sending it was in Montgomery, not Millbrook, and it was not on Bell south, but Charter. It sent a message to a guy named Hiratch Ford in North Carolina. What made my friend suspicious of these fraudulent email was that one was supposedly coming from the system administrator at his place. He is his own system administrator, and would have not needed to write that email. He uses Linux for email. Which I suppose I should too. Gotta go. I'm going to get Linux, at least on ISO.
