Dear Juno Member,

Juno detected that an email message addressed to you may have been infected with a virus. This potentially harmful message has been blocked from your inbox and both you and the sender are being notified.

Hi Carl, Yeah, someone, somewhere is sending virii emails with my address. most of them are coming out of the west Pacific. AU NZ are common. Both you and JUNO should know that these crackers and script-kiddies ALWAYS phony up the routing info as well as the ID of the sender. You and JUNO are in effect SPAMMING as a result someone else's illegal and un-ethical activities. I would take any reasonable measures to prevent the mis-use of my email address, but I cannot control the actions of unknown persons who may be anywhere in the world. Even canceling my entire domain would not in any way preclude a strangers use of any email address in that domain. Sorry you got a virus, but please understand that both you and I are the victims of the actions of a stranger. PeterB -- Using SUSE since 5.2 Loving SUSE 9.1 Pro My Blog: http://vancampen.org/blog --
