[LUNI] [ADMIN] Hey, you with the virus, fix your windows based computer

[Keith T. Garner]

Another piece of virus mail appearing to be from Ron Petty (but not
actually from him, I suspect) hit the list again, as some of you
without virus scanners have seen.  For those with virus scanners, you
guys rock.  However, mailman unsubscribed about 30 of you due to the
bounces.  (This included everyone using gmail...yuck.)

I just finished re-enabling all the subscriptions (including my own!)
that got turned off last night, presumably thanks to the virus e-mail.

This has happened three or four times, and its getting old.  For those
of you on the list and using windows based mailers please keep up to
date on all your patches and virus scanners.

And, because this is got me ticked enough this morning, we're going to
start posting the received headers from when it hit the mail server
that luni runs on.  (Much like some communities do with guys who were
busted for soliciting prostitution.)

Today's lovely piece of virus mail was brought to us by:

   Received: from filesvr.org ([211.24.163.106])
           by null.sevatech.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id i7G8BYC05588
           for <luni at luni.org>; Mon, 16 Aug 2004 03:11:34 -0500

If this is you, you've won the ire of the community and the chance to
update your virus software!

Keith
