A short while ago, I received a LISTSERV spamming alert from another site.
The reported spammer was "[log in to unmask]". This is the return address
on messages carrying the Hybris virus. This virus infects Windows 95/98/NT
systems, intercepts all network traffic, scans for strings which appear to
be email addresses, and sends copies of itself to those addresses. The
envelope sender (return-path) address is always null and the "from" address
is always "[log in to unmask]". To prevent the distribution of the virus
through your lists, add "[log in to unmask]" to the FILTER_ALSO keyword in
go.user. Your list owners may receive some of the bounces, but your lists
will be protected.
