Folks, I just got a Procmail Security daemon message from uwaterloo
saying:
*** SECURITY WARNING ***
Our email gateway has detected that your message to
jwwalker msgid=<200308191900.h7JJ0nA01475 at watarts.uwaterloo.ca>
MAY contain hazardous embedded scripting or attachments, or has been
rejected by our site security policy for some other reason. If you have
a question, please reply to this notification message.
It goes on to say that I sent "wicked_scr.scr", which is one of the
Sobig.F files. Now am I right in assuming the worm spoofed my address
and sent this out? I never use mail on Windows, so I'm pretty sure *I*
didn't send it, but I've never gotten one of these warnings before.
Sorry for a dumb question, but as I said, this is new to me.
Matt
