This Klez virus still seems to be avoiding me - so far I got only one copy. Maybe the Technion is filtering it? Anyway, I just encountered a new annoying problem with that virus similar to what Eli said: I'm now getting a few "bounces" per day about this virus, and the number is increasing. The problem is that some people's servers scan incoming email for viruses, and when they find one they stupidly assume the "From" address is correct, and send a message to the sender telling them they are probably infected with a virus. But in this case (like in many other cases by the way), the From: is a fake. So now I get all these emails from automatic programs who think they are very nice and helpful by telling me I'm "infected" :( I guess that pretty soon I'll have to filter out these messages, because they are becoming more of a problem (at least for me) than the virus itself. -- Nadav Har'El | Friday, Apr 26 2002, 15 Iyyar 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Welcome to the Church of the Holy http://nadav.harel.org.il |Cabbage.
