Subject: AW: Regarding bogus -- virus ridden -- emails sent in my name

David and all,

I cant stop repeating this too often:

please dont ever send mails to different partners using the "TO" feature
of your email-client, always use "BCC". With using "BCC", email addresses
dont flood around to unwanted or infected people. Otherwise any mailheader
is a paradise for any virus, because using "TO" everybody receives all
other's email-addresses...

Hope I didnt formulate too complicated :-)

Prepare to update your anti-virus databases, next weeks will be hard.

Greetings from Berlin,
Alexander

| Betreff: Regarding bogus -- virus ridden -- emails sent in my name
|
|
| I have been receiving emails from postmasters saying that some
| email I have
| supposedly sent ("hello") has been sent to some person(s) I do
| not know.  It
| would seem that my name has been lifted from someone's address
| book or inbox
| and is being sent about with this garbage.
| If you receive an email from me (borderlands -AT- optusnet.com.au) with the
| subject "hello" please DON'T open it or its
| attachment.  It is bogus!
| thanks
| David
