[NCLUG] Possible mail virus/worm (hitting Windows?)

[Sean Reifschneider]

A few hours ago, one of our client's mail servers started getting hit pretty
hard.  Check your queue for mail apparently from "root at microsoft.com" to
an address something like:

   mail2news_nospam-20010209-alt.comp.virus at anon.lcs.mit.edu

In fact, you may want to put some preventative measures in place.  It seems
likely that it's hitting Windows machines, so why do us Linux users care?
Well, we're probably running the mail servers those poor MS users are
connecting to...
