Klez Virus is not the list's Fault



For those who have recevied email with the Klez variant virus 
apparently from this list, please read the following:

The Klez virus pickes up random email addresses from the victim's 
hard drive files and sends itself out (using its own email software) 
spoofing (forging) the From: address. So wherever it says it came 
from, it didn't. Even though it appears to have come from the Jewish 
Music list, it actually could have come from any computer in the 
world that had "jewish-music (at) shamash(dot)org" in any file on the hard 
drive.

AFAIK, there is in fact no way that this virus can come through a 
listserv and since not everyone on the list has gotten it (I 
haven't), it is clear that the list is not to blame.

For further info, refer to

HTH.
