Re: [foxboro] Somebody on the list has the Netsky virus

It's not a matter of scanning the emails coming through freelists, these =
people are spoofing addresses. All they need is a list. It only takes =
one member to get infected. The anyone in the user's address book and =
anyone listed in received or sent emails becomes not only a potential =
recipient, but also a potential "spoofed" sender. You could get a =
"spoofed" email from me, for instance that originated from a server in =
Bulgaria. Not freelist's fault, it's time for everyone to clean house =
and put in personal firewalls.
