This has nothing to do with freelists or Jim. These new viruses not only scan peoples' contact lists, but they scan their IE caches for mailto: links in webpages. Then, they randomly pick "to" and "from" addresses from that list. So "Jim" could send an email to me, even though a third-party person not related to either of us was stupid enough to open the attachment. If the world had integrated reverse-DNS mailer authentication then this wouldn't be a problem.. :-) Brian Brian Madden brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1.202.302.3657 Visit www.brianmadden.com for in-depth Citrix, Terminal Server, and server-based computing news and analysis, white papers, downloadable videos, and product reviews. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://thethin.net Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 7:22 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Hello WTF! you know I didn't send this! What are the chances.......and attachments have been blocked to the list. Don't know what is going on at Freelists but I suspect this virus is wreaking havoc over there.
