Hello,

The bugbear virus is very adept at creating false email envelopes, and
using email found in you system as a carrier.  Anyone on NAFEX could be
infected.

I have even seen people receiving the bugbear virus where the virus
obviously based the false envelope on the recipients email address.

Very sophisticated virus.

Because the envelopes (from address) are false it could be anyone on the
NAFEX listserv.

Later,
Tom
