'course, I probably get 25 e-mails a day telling me that I sent someone
Sobig, which would be pretty impressive, since I run Suse :)
I should be so lucky. I'm averaging almost that many AV-scanner alerts bouncing
to me an *hour*. And inbound Sobig-F are above 1 per minute.
I still say we should have put this in the "security considerations" in RFC1341:
"If you think you know how to secure active objects in e-mail, you are
probably very mistaken. There be serious and nasty dragons here."
(with apologies to the authors of 'xterm').
On the other hand, maybe we didn't do THAT badly - I can only think of one
vendor that really didn't pay attention....
