Hey Wally
Received a virus via e-mail from "your" address. Of course, if you sent it
it's probably infected your computer and you might be having problems as I type this. John Cairns |

If you mean the cedar_bucket address, then I certainly didn't send anything from that - it's a hotmail spam bucket which I never actually use. Being a purely online, web-based account, there's no reference to it in my mail software here. That said, I'm curious - could you post the full headers for me? Or email them to tonal (at) blueyonder (dot) co (dot) uk. -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |

Can't help thinking that someone from the ng mailed this. Wonder if they realize it's a federal crime? John Cairns |

Had a look at the headers - the given IP addresses have nothing to do with me. A tracert on the apparent originating IP (for which there is no reverse lookup) gave a penultimate hop of something called kaptech.net, and a whois on that indicates that it's registered in France. That would be consistent with the +0100 timestamp. Nuffink to do wiv me, guv'nor! :-) -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |
We had the "my doom" email virus at work a few months back. It is one that
will send out emails that look they come from any address it finds on a host machine. I still get notices from our exchange server from time to time, although the virus itself gets filtered out by the coorporate system. It would seem that it can lurk on unprotected desktops for a long time. "Wally" wrote in message ...
