I'm not concerned with receiving the virus myself, since I don't run
Windows. I'm more concerned with the increase in bandwidth the list is
forced to deal with.

&gt; &gt; Actually, I can pretty much guarantee it WASN'T you, since Netsky
&gt; &gt; spoofs the FROM address, and you don't use Windows at work. It was
&gt; &gt; from someone who has your work address in their address book.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; Of course, this is assuming you're not running an infected Windows
&gt; &gt; machine at home, in which case it could be that box...
&gt; 
&gt; Actually, if you examine the very last Received: header (the one that
&gt; negotiates with ale.org's MX host), the offending party is using an
&gt; address that is within the Deutsche Telekom dialup address pool.  I
&gt; might also add that all the other virii that have managed to hit the
&gt; list have CONSISTENTLY been from this pool of addresses.  I previously
&gt; wrote DT's spam/virus abuse department, thinking I'd get some sort of
&gt; resolution.  Yeah, right.
&gt; 
&gt; So there's your clue: look for someone on the list that's previously
&gt; posted from a T-Dialin account.
&gt; 
&gt; Or, just do like me and adjust your spam/virus filter accordingly.
