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 g8BHYh207178 for
<address@hidden>; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 19:34:44 +0200 (MET DST)
The message was claiming that it was sent by bug-make <address@hidden> ,
but this declaration CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
WAS IT REALLY A VIRUS?
If bug-make <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
bug-make <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 bug-make <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 bug-make <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.
