One thing that sucks about this new worm is that it prepends certain names to the domain name that it obtains. One of those names is my name "Ray" and so my php user account is ray@php.net. Needless to say i get tons of emails from sysadmins and virus systems. just a funny thought...

it's not the worms that suck. it's stupid AV vendors that notify an address WHICH IS KNOWN TO BE A RANDOM ONE, AND NOT THE VIRUS SENDER that "he sent a virus". That's who sucks. Solution: filter mailer-daemons and start using return reciepts to know if your mail was recieved :\ (if you care, that is.) On Wed, 28 Jan 2004, Ray Hunter wrote:
