Re: [ST] Virus Alerts

[Eric Sheley <Eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the delay - I am at a Microsoft convention in Anaheim and have 
not had a chance to check my personal email. As Mike correctly pointed out, 
bugbear spoofs the sending address. I have my list server set to reject 
html and attachments (much to the annoyance of AOL users) so anything 
coming with an attachment is not coming through the list.

As Mike suggested, be sure your AntiVirus is up to date - I know several 
people that were hit that had virus protection, but they had not updated 
their definitions in a long time....
