[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Virus sent last Thursday - Anyone use RoadRunner?Sorry this is a bit off-topic, but I want to clear this up. Last Thursday I had received a lot of email responses from virus scanning software from recipients on the ips mailing list mentioning a virus that appeared to be sent by me. Since I don't use Windows for email, it seemed odd that I could have sent anything. It turns out I didn't send it, but I want to figure out where it came from. Here's what happened. The email to the ips list was sent from a machine at austin.rr.com (RoadRunner), with the From: line set to my address. SMTP lets you do this; you can send an email that appears to be "From:" anyone you want. Here are the recieve headers from the machines that sent to majordomo: Received: from sm13.texas.rr.com (sm13.texas.rr.com [24.93.35.40]) by ece.cmu.edu (8.11.0/8.10.2) with ESMTP id g7N3Koo15994 for <ips@ece.cmu.edu>; Thu, 22 Aug 2002 23:20:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Cudhz (cs24243252-119.austin.rr.com [24.243.252.119]) by sm13.texas.rr.com (8.12.1/8.12.0.Beta16) with SMTP id g7N3OVDg010776 for <ips@ece.cmu.edu>; Thu, 22 Aug 2002 22:24:32 -0500 Does anyone recognize the account or host named cs24243252-119?
