RE: [OT] RE: New Microsoft Critical Patch
Furthermore, Microsoft will *not* email you about real critical updates either. The only way to get an email from Microsoft is to request support or to sign up for a mailing list. That's something they bring up at just about every Microsoft seminar these days.

RE: New Microsoft Critical Patch
Okay, let me ask a slightly different question. I am getting several of these Microsoft emails every day and I think that they are coming via this list. Is anyone else having similar problems or am I following a red herring?

RE: New Microsoft Critical Patch
Hi John, I've been getting those fake e-mails for a month, but I joined this mailing list only a week ago, so they definitely did not start coming from this list.

[snip] Okay, let me ask a slightly different question. I am getting several of these Microsoft emails every day and I think that they are coming via this list. Is anyone else having similar problems or am I following a red herring? [/snip] Red-herring. We get several dozens of these each day from different sources. It is general spam. Now, since you have joined a mailing list your e-mail address is archived with posts to the list. Spambots regularly troll archive lists fishing for addy's to place upon the list. So if you never had spam before joining the MySQL list you may be receiving some by virtue of having joined and having your e-mail addy farmed. This is one possibility -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: New Microsoft Critical Patch
I have checked almost every M$ critical patch and other messages with the same content and as far as I can tell none came via this or any other list. Easy enough to find out: look at the headers. If it says: Received: from lists.mysql.com (lists1.mysql.com [213.115.162.31]) List-ID: mysql.mysql.com Precedence: bulk List-Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Post: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 9683 invoked from network); 4 Dec 2003 18:30:13 - Received-SPF: unknown (domain of sender [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not designate mailers: NOERROR) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.6487.1 content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Then you may been looking in the right direction.

RE: New Microsoft Critical Patch
I've been getting these for about a week, sometimes several times a day. This also was before I subscribed to this list. However: we have a mail system that automatically scans e-mails, especially those with attachments. Our system is flagging these up as containing the W32/[EMAIL PROTECTED] virus. So, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR RUN THE ATTACHED SOFTWARE !! Just bin it. Sorry I had to shout. (I use Macs, so it beats me why they keep sending them to me) Cheers, Alex Brown.
