Some of the newer virii (and I assume this includes the Klez virus) spoof the 'from' field. All it means is that someone who had emailed both webmaster@codeproject and you was infected. cheers, Chris Maunder

:) :laugh: not to make light of the whole damage part of it, but klez's email address faking thing is damned clever. i constantly get messages saying email i (never) sent was blocked by some virus scanner on some server somewhere - just because someone's klez infection used my address on the email. -c

A lot of this sort of email has been emanating from a university in China, although that doesn't mean that's the real source. :( /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

*puts on antivirus hat* Viruses including Klez hide their origins by faking the From field. So if John's computer is infected and Klez mails itself out, it picks some random name from John's address book and puts that in the From field. So the mail might go to Cindy and have my name in the From line, if both me and Cindy are in John's address book.

Yeah I've been getting a few of them and I had no idea why. Now I know. Thanks. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. www.getsoft.com
