I agree and to prove this you can check email headers to verify the IP address where the message comes from. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Abela [mailto:robert@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 22/08/2002 11:18 To: [ExchangeList] Cc: Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Dealing with Klez noticies http://www.MSExchange.org/ yes you are correct. Klez doesn't keep the real from address.. so it can be seen as it was sent from someone who is not infected -----Original Message----- From: Darien Allen [mailto:drallen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 4:03 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Dealing with Klez noticies http://www.MSExchange.org/ I've had an influx of a few users who are receiving administrative notices from other servers that the emails they are sending out are infected with Klez. As you know Klez works by attaching to the "To" portion of the email ANY email address it finds in the addressbook of the infected user. So that it looks like it's coming from a different person that the one whose really infected. I've told my users that there systems are clean (I've run 2 different Klez detection utilities to confirm this) and that there unfortunately isn't anything I can do as the infected person could be anyone who has ever sent them an email address. Am I correct in this regard? Darien Allen Center for Poverty Solutions --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
