I'd like to take this opportunity to roundly curse all the programmers and mail-admins (on whatever platform) who can't tell an "envelope-sender" from a "from:" and forward the entire active virus to some innocent third-party who was in the faked "from:" header. I've received more virus as part of misdirected "bounces" than I have direct viruses. People who don't really understand the protocols shouldn't be administering or writing mail servers. ]]> 15462@blogcritics.org Wed, 20 Aug 2003 14:28:13 EDT
