I'm starting to wonder... My localhost account is being hit daily by mails containing what appear to be infected attachments. It looks to me like another worm, similar in behaviour to MyDoom but just using different mails, is on the rampage now. I'd have to go research into it. But it suggests that lots of infected machines have my address, and that I find a bit hard to believe - it's not an address that I use a lot. But my machine was soon spidered heavily when I set up the Web site on it, so spammers had plenty of chance to get my address that way (and generally didn't). I don't really recall seeing those attachments in any spam, though - they're generally virus attachments in my experience. - uilleann (I changed address on the mailing list) ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
