[AZ-Observing] Re: Problem with list

Steve and all,

Remember that the way most worms propagate is via someone's email address
book, so when it appears to have come from one person  it may actually have
come from someone else (who has the other guy's address in his address
book). So the real 'offending' party may not even be a part of either list.
It is my belief that anti-virus software is an absolute necessity if one is
going to be part of such lists. Naturally, the program should have its virus
signatures updated often (at least weekly) - and it should be run quite
often. If the program supports it, al email should be scanned (both incoming
and outgoing).
