" This message gets sent from the list to my mailbox about every day or so. 
" Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?  It appears that a virus is

" 
" A message you sent to
" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
" contained HTML.Phishing.Auction-101 and has not been delivered.

" The infected machine is likely to be here:
" from dns.hittaka.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
" by amc-list.com.ittaka.com (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k2A2ihQx031366

we're all getting it.  at a guess, someone on the list is infected and
doesn't know it.  it could also be that someone is targeting the list,
hoping it won't filter attachments and mass-infect susceptible members.
it only costs them one email a day to try.  they probably neither know
nor care whether this one worked - they have plenty of other hooks
out...

when my gf's son complained a few years ago that his peecee was too
slow, she took it to a shop that found -hundreds- of virii running and
trying to propagate.  he'd only noticed a slowdown.
