Re: Odd email from Shrapnel
Again, it's VERY unlikely that the problem is actually with Shrapnels email server. They make their living on the web, and they are completly up to date as far as virus protection and what not I am sure.
Almost certainly it is someone else, one of us that visits shrapnel, that got it. As Zarix and Mephisto point out, some viruses will get addresses from your book and send out emails that appear to come from somewhere else other than your machine. This makes it harder to pinpoint who is actually the source of the virus. If it sent out 50 emails all from me, people would be telling me I have a virus. But if it sends 50 emails from my machine, and puts 50 different return addresses on it, then how will you know they actually came form me? There are ways to tell, but the tendancy is to assume it's really frmo who it says it's from.
