I'm sorry, but unless you do some research, notifying the 'alleged sender' is pretty much ineffective in some cases. Take Klex for example... it spoofs mail From: fields based on what it finds in the address book. To me a notification such as this is a pain, I get maybe 10-15 a week accusing me of being infected, and I even get some on mailing lists saying they are infected too... mailing list cannot be infected, it's just a script, and I know for sure I'm not, not only do I have a locally running virus scanner, but I run one on the company mail/web server, and one on the network too. All get checked for updates 2 times a day. I personally suggest if you want to be helpful and notify the 'sender', you do some research into headers first :P - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt iQA/AwUBPZxMzCuD6BT4/R9zEQLExQCcCxF8NnvN5bNy0tPc70j9SK9Y/dYAn2oo Q4vQhpEfpxmfnh9sMXulsFGQ =nFFT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
