VIRUS PROTECTION: Trick won't work

[Sue Fox <sugarfox@BELLSOUTH.NET>]

I've just been notified that this "trick" is no longer sophisticated =
enough for some of the new viruses.

Dan Robinson of HW Wilson Company in Bronx, NY advises me that=20

    "The viruses around today use their
own smtp programs to send the email and just use your address book for a =
source. They don't do checks for validity of addresses. You might get a =
warning on a bounce, but that's it. Up to date antivirus software is
much better. "

Sorry for tying up the airspace!
