Heya y'all, I don't know if this is old news or not, but a LUGNET search on "brodie" turned up 0 results. OTOH, it seems there was some discussion about 2 weeks back about a virus email hitting .space and .castle users... Anyway, for about a month (...)

<snip> The thing that pisses me of is the subject keeps changing every so often so an email rule only lasts so long. Maybe it really is a patch and it will make my PC work even better. ;-) Does anybody know what virus is in these emails? I just keep (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I've been getting them for some time too. My server admin is busy installing some spam blocking software, but I don't know if it will block that. I've set up several filter rules for this crap, though. I purchased SpamKiller before McAfee (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I've been using spamassassin (woo, free!) for a while now, and it has been catching these (and almost all other) spam. (...) and now you'll get more - you post the email address on the web, trust me, something will harvest it. (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I'll look into it. (...) Yeah, I figured :\ It is also on the BrickMedia website. When I set up a new personal site at a new domain later this year, I won't publish the email at all on the web. Instead, I'll set up a contact form on the site (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I don't know if I'm one of the top 100, but I'm a frequent loudmouth. I joined LUGNET (officially) just the other day, and I've received 2-3 daily emails from Ms. Brodie since then. I didn't make the connection until you pointed it out, (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) good - less of a chance it would be used to spam other people then :) You should never set up an email sending form that gives the user any control over where it's sent to. :) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I extracted one of those files a couple weeks back and scanned it. It is: Win32.Gibe.B worm. I've had probably a dozen emails with similar LUGNET lists of recipients, but from several different sources. Play well. Tim Strutt (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

I got this one too today. Not sure it was from Kim, but the attachment (patch.exe) was deleted by our mailserver telling there was a virus. This was first time I got it S Sproaticus <jeremy@sproat.us> wrote in message news:HD36qs.13A1@lugnet.com... (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

Heya y'all, I've been digging back through my spam trap folder in Outlook, and have come up with the following conclusions: 1. I'm looking at at least two different spam virus attacks. Both are using open relays in traditional spam style, but: (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
