Marios,
Hard to say - bugbear is making the rounds, and it's a pernicious little beastie.
It not only uses an existing address list, it has a built-in SMTP mailer and synthesizes not only "To:" addresses, but also "From:" addresses.
Last week I had mail addressed to me (milesthompson@ns.sympatico.ca) from someone's system, the return address was "milesthompson@nb.sympatico.ca". Rather cute, especially as the reply bounced!
Norton's popping up that bugbear warning about 7x each day right now. I'm using Eudora with the "Use Microsoft viewer" option switched off - thus nothing happens and NAV is quarantining them.
Not to say that wasn't from Hugh, but given that was last week's discussion, and I would expect him to be pretty vigilant, I'd say it's highly unlikely.
Miles
