[VIRUS] Virus Alert

[Tony Collen <co...@umn.edu>]

Hi list-

I just got an email apparently from ovidiu@apache.org with the subject 
"Re: Application" which had a .zip file attached.  The .zip file had 
some sort of .pif file inside, which I assume is a virus.

Received: from CD101234501-2 (host-182-198-220-24.midco.net 
[24.220.198.182])

Please take caution if you get a strange message like this... I was only 
saved because I run pine on the address that this was sent to.


Tony

Yep. I sometimes receive dozens of "Re: Movie" and "Re: your 
application" each day. Thanks to Mozilla filters, all this goes directly 
to the trash !
Filtering virus warning replies is more difficult, however.

Thanks for the alert. We have all been getting this for some time.
Even worse, it makes itself appear to be sent by people we know and
trust. Even more worse, the "senders" then get hammered by recipients'
mail agents telling us that we have sent a virus. I hope that we don't
get blacklisted. Watch out for "Re: Movie" as well.
