Re: [APML] APML VIRUS WARNING

[George Anderson <georgea@cam.org>]

Hi Chris

Most of the newer viruses are clever enough to forge the "from"
information so that they cannot be traced to the sender. Even looking at
the page source will not allow you to see the true sender of the virus.
The fact that no one else on the list (yet) has reportd a virus from
astro-photo@seds.org makes the sending address more questionable.
Does the subject line start with [APML] ? All list mail has that added
to the subject line.

Clear skies and good health
