Thanks for the alert Ntanel.

I got a mail with an infected attachment from my fellow Admin yesterday. He never sent it of course, his address was spoofed.

This was very deceptive, because I know this guy to be an expert with computers, so I'd never even suspect him having viruses. And he didn't. But the mail did.

Be careful out there everybody, the infected mails can be from someone you trust completely, as in my case.

This was the case with the last 2 or 3 major email viruses too. Don't open executable attachments, and install some sort of email filter.

I am adding to the list at MudWorld's index. Jointhesaga.com is now added, I just got an email from a joe. I also got another from carrionfields.

The list is of MUD-related sites being spoofed.
