How friendly. Can some kind person kill the sender?
I would say no, since the mail was sent with my address, but not from me
or my system
Interesting. I see on bugtraq that this is a new virus making the rounds.
I don't know what verification fetchmail-friends does on postings, but it
would be interesting to know whether this was a malicious attempt to
inject the virus into this list or a mailing from an infected machine
(using your name?!)
Looking at the headers on the original message, it doesn't seem to have
come from your machine, so this looks to me like it could be a
deliberately spoofed injection. Hmmmm. I don't know whether this is part
of the normal propagation of this virus, but it feels like a deliberate
injection to me, particularly as it was several hours before the virus was
reported elsewhere.
