hi all,

so this is possibly off-topic, but it's probably worth a heads up that
there's a new virus doing the rounds so you can update any manual exim
filters (the standard anti-executable exim filter should stop the .scr
attachment if memory servers)

"Goner" is, thankfully, easy to spot. watch out for subjects reading
"Hi", with a "gone.scr" attachment:

It's already newsworthy enough to make /. and the bbc... and is
spreading quite "well" by all accounts.

good luck!

regards,

richard.
