[Mingw-users] Re: fake post

[Earnie B. <ea...@us...>]

Thanks for the reply Biju.  I see you're using yahoo.com.  With the 
recent Sobig virus and Yahoo's slow response to it, I've changed my list 
addresses as well (at least most of them).  I was truly affected by the 
DoS and was without good service from Yahoo for most of the past five 
weeks.  Yahoo would disable my account due to it's size even though most 
of the size had been filtered to the trash.  I'm currently using 
services from hotpop.com if you wish to take a look.

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do with the faked headers as 
yet.  The virus also sends to lists' administration software requests 
for subscribing and unsubscribing.  I've several of those types of bogus 
requests from various lists, some I am subscribed to, others I'm not.

Earnie.
