Jeff -

Jeff when you stated that you got two copies of the virus.. were they
both from my email address??

I have scanned my system three times today using three different virus
utilities to make sure that my system are free of virus. And my current
version of 'NORTON A/V' that I am running scans inbound and outbound
email to insure that it is as clean as current anti virus software can
be.

Not only was the header from from me due to the lack of correct name
that the virus program would of had access to if sent from my personal
system.

The server in question that posted the message is from South America.

And why only to the "Linux-Help" email group??  Since I might of signed
up for this group.. when I changed computers three weeks ago I deleted
that email address from my mail box due to changes made by the group a
few months ago.

This is the first time in close to 16 year of being online that my email
address has been "SPOOFED".
