Message selfdeclared from me00een <address@hidden> subject A very good tool Blocked ! ! |

You have received a message containing Microsoft executable content (.exe and
the like)
These messages often contain viruses, and we do not deliver them.
FROM WHERE WAS IT SENT?
We cannot reliably identify the true origin, but we can tell which computer
delivered it to our mail server (the 'last hop' of the message):
here is what we know about it:
(should read 'from somewhere etc.etc. by sv2.ictp.trieste.it etc. for
you etc.':
mind the 'from somewhere', THIS INFORMATION CAN BE TRUSTED )
from monty-python.gnu.org (monty-python.gnu.org [199.232.76.173])
by sv2.ictp.trieste.it (8.11.3/8.11.0) with ESMTP id g83L3N209979 for
<address@hidden>; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 23:03:24 +0200 (MET DST)
The message was claiming that it was sent by me00een <address@hidden> ,
but this declaration CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
WAS IT REALLY A VIRUS?
If me00een <address@hidden> is of the form 'address@hidden',
while the host it came from is NOT like 'somehost.ictp.trieste.it',
it was certainly a virus.
Else, usually it's a virus, but in case of doubt you can check with
me00een <address@hidden>
(This is the only meaningful purpose of this address)
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
First, relax: you did NOT receive the virus!
If on contacting me00een <address@hidden> you find that the message was a
legitimate one, ask them to zip the executable before sending it.
If it's a virus, notice that it probably does not come from the
computer of me00een <address@hidden>.
Instead, if you know someone at the institution from which
it was delivered to us, then inform THEM that their computer
could (could!) be infected.
