In answer to Nadav's message, I actually think this is relevant - not to LINUX
but to the ILUG mailing list. I also got one of these messages, but the Subject
was Re: APM problem. So it seems to me that however this worm is being
transmitted, it somehow **knows** about various subject on the list. Is it
possible that there is some access to the server or mailing list? I wonder if
others have recieved similar messages but with different ILUG related subjects.
