I get several *hundred* such warnings every day, every single one of them spurious. I never ever ever want to hear if some virus forged some e-mail somewhere. I don't care. Throw it away. Before I started making some complicated procmail rules (unfortunately, the umpteen-million virus scanner programs that have unleashed this plague upon us do not have a standard message, and worse, allow easy message customization by the naive site admins), these stupid notifications were making my e-mail almost unusable. Please, don't ever send these. If you must, write them to a log file, and give that log file to your MS Windows security team, and have them root out the actual infected systems. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
