Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: VIRUS ALERT, do not open attached ZIP file from Oracle-Lmember
Ron,
True, but the amount of trash mail I get at home via the snail is = miniscule compared to the electronic variety and it never tries to = infect you with something or steal your passwords. And it never tries = to spoof someone else's identity. I fear that if Spam and all other = forms of junk e-mail aren't curtailed somehow, that will be the end of = e-mail. Heck, as of Monday my company is blocking individuals from = accessing their personal e-mail systems, like Yahoo Mail, because of all = the virus traffic.

I even receive spam,trash,junk mail via snail-mail so that is not the answer.
Oracle-l doesn't allow attachments.

You can easily assume that the mail message was spoofed. Our
mail =3D
system does not allow us to send messages that don't get scanned both
=3D
incoming and outgoing. And to boot I've received a number of messages
=3D
from the postmaster that claim I sent messages to interval people via
=3D
their external mail address. Wish I could catch that damned person!=20
=3D
This spoofing and spamming are getting so far out of hand I'm starting
=3D
to think they should bring back the guillotine for those people.

Hi ORACLE-L list posters,
Warning if you posted on Oracle-L lately...
I just got an email from dgoulet_at_vicr.com with ZIP attached. Yahoo scan did not detect virus, but my McAfee did trap the virus.

PS: Sorry if the email source was spoofed, but it did say it was from dgoulet_at_vicr.com.
