FYI, this is a new variant of the SoBig worm.
So, nothing new... Just more of the same nuisance! ;-)

:I am getting slammed by viruses today. I have had at
:least 150 emails today
:to an email address that is hosted by somebody else but
:which identifies me
:(I am the editor of an online newsletter and they're
:mostly going to that
:address). It is the SoBig worm and, while I'm running a
:mac and multiple
:checks of my system are clean, I'm concerned that I might
:be spoofed and
:might piss off my readers/writers/possible clients.

:The last time we talked about viruses on this listserv, a
:link was made to
:an article on spoofing worms/viruses, and I read it but
:am suddenly
:motivated to REALLY be able to explain these things (in
:case it makes a
:writer/reader/potential client mad at me).
:
:Can anyone give me that link again?
