These spoofed virii/worm/whatnot emails can be somewhat prevented in a few cases by the utilization of SPF http://spf.pobox.com/ I encourage people to look at this, review it for its merits and look at using it. Then if the nanog list were to be use spf, it could help prevent these booogus emails from reaching the list. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
