Man's greatest actions are performed in minor struggles.  Life,
misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which
have their heroes - obscure heroes who are at times greater than
illustrious heroes.

   |   | Good morning
   |   |
   |   |
   |   | Actually troth in this case no you cant hit reply to see
   |   | where the email is coming from.  Klez is a smart worm in
   |   | the fact it can make the email appear its
   |   | coming from any number of places.  For example if an
   |   | infected person had both the list address and Your address
   |   | either in the address book or in any
   |   | read/unread emails or in a file of sorts saved on the hard
   |   | drive Klez can use both addresses one as the TO and one as
   |   | the apparent from address.
   |   |
   |   | Glen has the right idea, the only way to really tell is via
   |   | the ip information in the headers if you can find them
   |   | (some programs don't show everything).
   |   |
   |   | Hopefully that helps some
   |   |
   |   |

   |   |   | Here's how you can tell if its coming from the list
   |   |   |
   |   | or not... hit the
   |   |   | REPLY button to the email, and see if the return
   |   | message your composing
   |   |   | gets addressed to PCTechTalk.

   |   |   | | My thought on the virus....
   |   |   | | Since it is the Klez virus, then the headers are
   |   |   | | forged. The only way to tell who it is from is by
   |   |   |
   |   | the
   |   |   | | originator's IP.
   |   |   | |
   |   |   | | Second...
   |   |   | | I don't think this virus came through the list.
   |   |   | | I suspect one of our members is infected and they |
   |   |   | probably use outlook or outlook express. | | Since
   |   |   | this is a list everytime some replies or
   |   |   |
   |   | post to
   |   |   | | the list, their emails will sit in someones inbox. |
   |   |   | Lets say outlook. Klez scans all folders in
   |   |   |
   |   | outlook
   |   |   | | for email address, then starts mailing itself out. |
   |   |   | | Now that Klez is sending out the virus to everyone |
   |   |   | that posted to PCTechTalk. Since PCTechTalk is put
   |   |   |
   |   | in
   |   |   | | the subject line by FreeList and nearly everyone
   |   | has
   |   |   | | filters set up on incoming email to drop
   |   | PCTechTalk
   |   |   | | emails to a specific folder, then this looks like
   |   |   |
   |   | it
   |   |   | | is coming from PCTechTalk.
   |   |   | |
   |   |   | | Just my thoughts.
