Hello,
I've gotten numerous copies of the following "returned mail
notification" today; a fair amount of it seemingly addressed TO:
spambayes at python.org and FROM:
"spambayes-bounces+lmcaulif=scsiweb.com at python.org; on behalf of;
Mail Delivery Subsystem [MAILER-DAEMON at aol.com]"
I have to assume it's someone, somewhere, that's got a virus but
I've no idea what - if anything - I can do to help break the
cycle. Do you guys have any ideas? I don't think I'm directly
involved since Symantec has caught anything, either during its
normal email scan OR on a full virus scan. Suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. Here's the text of the message - without
the attachment(s):
