there is no jessica, investigate the past messages...they originate from
various previous posters

someone on this list has/had a worm/virus and their machine sent
messages from its sent-box to past recipients, qmail-list being one of
them..

folks on the list who are _still_ using a windows box should go to :

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.navidad.16896.html

I believe the attached exe is that type of worm.

Maybe you should refer them to something like:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO/index.html

or

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html

Wrong. Look at the headers of the messages.
This emanuel has plagued the qmail list before. I've seen some of my own
posts re-posted back then.
From what I've seen, the virus re-sends everything the victim has recieved,
with the .exe attached to them.
