Re: malware warning

["Glen A. Pearce" <nanog () ve4 ca>]

I've also gotten these, ironic that it was in "reply" to my
"Not sure if this is a phishing E-mail or real..." thread.
I initially thought someone was spamming the whole list,
it took a while before I looked close enough to realize it
was directly to the address I use for the mailing list and
not through the mailing list. (Which explained why it
wasn't showing up in the list archive on the web.)  Also
continued much after the thread died out in my case too.
