    Virus spam from Kim Brodie targetting LUGNET members? —Jeremy H. Sproat
   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)
     
          Re: Virus spam from Kim Brodie targetting LUGNET members? —Tim Courtney
      (...) 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 (...)

          Re: Virus spam from Kim Brodie targetting LUGNET members? —Dan Boger
       (...) 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)

      (...) You could do what I have done with my secondary yahoo email account (rolly_dog2000@yahoo.com) UNLESS the subject line as a special 4 alphanumeric code in it at the very beginning the messeage gets deleted and into the trashbox! So far I have (...) (22 years ago, 11-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 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)
   
        Re: Virus spam from Kim Brodie targetting LUGNET members? —Sonnich Jensen
     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)

        Follow-up: Virus spam from Kim Brodie targetting LUGNET members? —Jeremy H. Sproat
   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)
