[CLUE-Tech] Bounced virus mail

[Mike Staver]

I think it is.  I was getting the same thing myself, but if you are 
actually getting the virus emails yourself, I've noticed on important 
thing: every single message I got came from the same address!  So, 
somebody who had me in their address book, or mail folder, or whatever 
they use in Outlook, had the virus.  I simply stuck the ip address in 
/etc/hosts.deny, and I never got another message from them :)  I don't 
know why, but the bounce back messages stopped as well from the domains 
that I was supposedly writing too.  Also, try that procmail script I 
sent out last week, it does appear to be working.
