Re: mpeg files/attachments

From: SelbyHort at aol.com on 2001.11.29 at 04:36:01(7854) In response to Steve Marak's message about the BadTrans virus: I did get a message today that looked like it might have been this virus. Of course, I did not open the attachment. I did not even read the message since the email address had an underscore for the first character. I just deleted the thing as soon as it popped into my box. I did get the following information from the moderator of another list I subscribe to. He posted the details below: +More an E-mail address proceeded by an underscore. For example: _telewski@cpp.msu.edu as opposed to: telewski@cpp.msu.edu These files contain an audio file which contains the W32badtrans.B@mm virus.> Would our listserve not even recognize any address with an underscore as being a subscriber? Is so, the message would not be processed and distributed to the list. Is this correct, Steve? Donna Atwood
