[HANASHIR:15135] RE: virus????

[Adrian Durlester <adrian...>]

Chaverim:
 
I am (literally) just home from CAJE. More on that later.
 
Please be assured that any messages you received that appeared to be from
the hanashir list that contained a virus were NOT from the hanashir list.
Shamash's system does not allow this to happen. What you are receiving are
"spoofed" messages that appear to come from one source but are actually from
another. Many virii and worms use this tactic.
 
For more info, see:

Hey everyone,
Are you getting these random email messages from hanashir addresses with a
subject like "Re: Your application" or "Re:  Details"  or "Re:  Thank you"
which then open up and tell you to see the attachment, which there is
none????  I've gotten about 20 of these today and I fear that some kind of
virus thingie is going through our list, is that possible?
