Hi SuzyQ,
I think you have the concept correct.
"Sender forging' or 'spoofing' is when an email address of an infected
computer is replaced with another address, often randomly plucked
off the infected computer by the virus.
Sender forging is normally done just before the virus sends itself out
to more potential victims. By changing the address in the 'Sender' field,
no one knows who sent the email or where it came from. "
As a result many of the AV auto-responders are automatically sending out the
messages, which make it appear that we have been infected.
Hopefully we can slow the virus down and educate the members of different
groups so that they don't end up putting us on their blacklist<BG>
