The person who maintains one of the 1,600+ lists here (Listserv 1.8d) started seeing very strange behavior early yesterday morning. Someone apparantly attempted to distribute a virus via this person's list and spoofed two of this person's email addresses. One address that is on a host that no longer even exists; the other from her computer in Ohio which wasn't even powered on at the time this message was sent. Fortunately, her list is set so that binary attachments are not permitted AND even though the attachment was embedded in the frame of an HTML formatted msg, the HTML was malformed and the MIME was also malformed so the virus portion of the message never reached anyone on the list. This happened again this morning, but the originating address was different. This time, the from address was somewhere in ".cz" and probably also spoofed (I suspect). This list is set so that "Subscription= By_Owner" and "Send= Private". The mail headers seem to indicate that the rogue messages originated from AOL. I have since instructed this List owner to forward the rogue messages intact to AOL to complain and set her list such that "Send= Private,Confirm". I have been maintaining our Listserv for more years than I care to remember and this particular List owner has maintained this particular list here for a good deal of that time. Neither of us has ever been confronted by this type of activity before. Has anyone else had this problem? I wonder how responsive AOL will be at helping to track down the culprit.
