Re: Sobig-F virus and our list

Lori-
I think the word you're looking for is 'spoofed'. This happened to me a few 
weeks ago- yes, it was annoying but there wasn't a thing to do for it. Don't 
try to assign any rhyme or reason to these things. They just happen.

  Subject: Sobig-F virus and our list


  Well, it's not exactly off-topic:

  My email address has been spammed all over the globe for the past three days, 
carrying the latest virus (Sobig-F) to people I've never heard of.  
Unfortunately, today I see it was sent to someone on our list, which makes me 
think that one of our compatriots was the victim whose address book is being 
pirated to send viruses.  Any of us could get an email appearing to be from 
someone else on the list with an attachment containing the virus.  

  SO...my suggestion is that we not send attachments to each other without 
specifying what it is, so that there is no accidental virus-spreading.
