A virus was found in a mail attachment sent by yourself. We have saved your email address and will be getting back to you at a later time, with authority involved. If you people can't tell PGP/MIME attachments (RFC 2015) from viruses, then you need to get out of the software business. Now. If you follow up with "authority" involved I will be forced to respond in a formal manner to the libellous accusation you have made. If your mail is meant to hawk the products mentioned in the URL's at its conclusion, I must remind you that unsolicited commercial email is forbidden in many jurisdictions, and I may be compelled to report you to an "authority", such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Remove my email address from any databases you maintain at once. I also ask on behalf of Bugtraq subscribers and the community at large to stop this harassment of its members; we are trying get to real work done, namely the detection and rectification of actual or potential security problems in commonly-deployed software. If some of us choose to attach digital signatures to our messages to establish their authenticity, that is our right and you have no rational cause to antagonize people for doing so. > INFECTED MAIL INFORMATION: > > From: Branden Robinson <branden@ECN.PURDUE.EDU> > Delivered-To: bugtraq@lists.securityfocus.com > Delivered-To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM > Reply-To: Branden Robinson <branden@ECN.PURDUE.EDU> > X-To: patch@xfree86.org > To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM > Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 18:39:51 -0500 > Subject: [XFree86 3.3.6] fix for race conditions in xterm logfile handling > > MAIL CONTENTS: > > Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; > Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="w2JjAQZceEVGylhD" > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Type: application/pgp-signature > > http://www.dnstelecom.fr/Produits/Cobalt/Modules > > http://housecall.antivirus.com -- G.
