Please don 't blame the "From " or "Reply To " address listed in a message as
the source of a virus infected message. Those addresses are faked by the
virus. (The virus uses addresses found on the infected computer.) Look at
the message header 's first. Here 's a typical header:
Return-Path: <life@(protected) >
Received: from rethinkers.org
(ca-lapuente-cuda2-c1a-47.arcdca.adelphia.net [24.54.250.47]) by
vger.vgernet.net (8.12.4/8.12.6) with ESMTP id i11GhRXx012958 for
<diogenes@(protected) >; Sun, 1 Feb 2004 11:43:28 -0500
From: life@(protected)
This message was NOT send from anyone at rethinkers.org. It was sent from
24.54.250.47, which does happen to be from a user on line with broadband
at adelphia.net. If you know how to send a pop-up message, that user just
might get it, if it is not blocked.
Because many people do not keep their email addresses up-to-date, many
virus infected message are kicked back to the faked from address as
undeliverable. You would get such a message if your address was on the
infected computer and the virus used it as the return address. When it is
rejected, it goes back to the faked return address instead of from the
true originator.
If you must send a virus report, look up the IP address, find out the true
domain, check their website for an email address, or try to look up a
technical contact in whois, and send the report there. On occasion, when
I 'm getting multiple virus emails originating from the same source, I 've
resorted to telephone calls to the website in question.
