[aclug-L] Re: Klez, Fetchmail and Sendmail

[keith frost <pfrostie@xxxxxxxxx>]

if a person is running say, outlook at home, and that
person's ISP is running a mailserver with linux.  then
that person gets a virus.  the linux mail server will
very happily send all the emails just like it is
supposed to.  this does not mean it is infected.  

yes, some sort of filter/viruswall would be helpful,
but this does not mean that this machine is infected.

did i miss or misundersand something.
