[ALERT] WebMaster "scam"...

Folks, I'm serous this time: you might start seeing messages from
webmaster@jakarta.apache.org popping into your inbox like the this one:

------ Forwarded Message
From: webmaster <we...@jakarta.apache.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 10:01:11 -0400 (CLT)
Subject: A  new website

Hello,This is a very  new website
I wish you would like it.

------ End of Forwarded Message

Doh, needless to say that it's not me neither Paulo sending that email, they
come from mail.entelchile.net, and be careful, they have one attachment, a
nifty .pif file, which DOH, is a viro... So, you warned. If you see ANYTHING
from webmaster@jakarta.apache.org, that's NOT a good sign. All replies for
your questions to that address might come from me, Paulo or Henri, with our
email addresses...

You're warned... (BTW, pass it along)

I always feel left out of all the great viruses out there.  Everytime I
excitedly open an attachment thinking "Wow this is it I'll finally get
to experience one of those viruses everyone keeps talking about!"... it
either doesn't run or replies simply:

"This program requires Microsoft Windows"
