I wasn't getting that one, but I have received three notes from Steven Barile
infected with W32.SirCam which you can read about at:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-22.html
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99141
I've copied this note to .trains and .trains.org.scltc because those are the
only groups posted to by Mr. Barile and I wanted him to be made aware that he
was infected ASAP. I sent him email this morning.
I too, am curious to see if others are getting this.
later,
Chris
