Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00013)

Viruses will often send themselves out from someone's computer with 
a forged FROM: line in the email header. Over the past few years, 
I've seen many, even some pretending to have come from theos-talk. 
When I look at the message header, I can see often see the IP 
address of the machine that send the forged message.

Note also that theos-talk does not allow email attachments, so any 
email saying it is "FROM:" the list but having an email attachment 
should be immediately suspicious.
