FWIW, I received an email from a Windowz machine spread from a virus a while back. The behavior of the virus and the headers of the message suggested that for every message in the affected user's inbox, the virus would create a new message with the From: and To: headers transposed, and send it back to the originator. So, only people that posted to Nanog would get this from infected machines. -- _______________ Chris Josephes __/ MRNet/Onvoy \ [email protected] __/ www.onvoy.com / \________________/
