No, actually, the reverse is true. It is now very unusual to receive a virus-infected e-mail that does *not* forge the "from" header. Most viruses now forge the "from" address using the infected machine's address book as one of the sources, along with such tricks as sending to/from "webmaster" at web sites that appear in your browser cache.Too true! And the automatic bounce "feature" that many sites use arebeing used to further distribute infected messages. I have gottenseveral "bounced" messages from the so-called WorldSecure server atfanniemai.com. That's a big company! They should have IT people whoknow better than to have their auto bounce send back an entire messagewith the worm's payload still there!But who do I write to to complain? I suspect that many places havealso turned off their postmaster names just like you did yourwebmaster name. I finally had to turn off my "webmaster" address completely because it was getting so inundated with spam and viruses. I've stopped even trying to count how many copies of SoBig I've received, but it's well past 10,000, probably more like 20,000, and 95% of those were to the "webmaster" address. (Even though the e-mails are discarded unopened, I still see the delivery attempts.)How will people be able to send you genuine bug reports they see onyour web page?I hope you will provide some kind of page with a form where people canfill out the form or enter messages to report problems.If postmasters around the world want to return messages that are notdeliverable, they should strip the messages of any binary attachmentsand just include the text.Bouncing infected messages intact should be strictly forbidden anddeclared as an offense that can make them liable for any damagescaused by the "bounced" messages.I know that is getting away from telephony, but while we are on thesubject of worms and spam AND I know there are quite a fewparticipants in this group that also manage Internet sites to somedegree, I'll put in my plug now.Turn OFF the "feature" that bounces entire messages intact!!Gail in Ohio USA
