I just got about 6 more of those .pif emails. That bit about random email addresses is apparent I guess since now the "www" from "
www.amiga.com" is missing on them. I'm still wondering how "amiga" comes into play at all. If AI doesn't have a virus, maybe there's something to do with months ago using my AO forwarding address on ebay. I must have forgotten to email through ebay itself once and used my actual email account to reply to a buyer and now they've got a virus. Ugh. :-( One wonders why it's amiga.com and not amiga.org, though. Too bad the version of Pine I'm using for some reason no longer has a view-full-headers command, so I can't check where these things are really coming from.
:idea: Perhaps one day, computers (at least, the Internet capable ones) will require a license before buying, and to get the license, you have to take a Germany-long (or was that France?) licensing class. Seems like that would eliminate lots of these problems with email viruses and things because people would be wise to them. The problem with that idea, though, is that I'd be against it in principle. :-/ Let's just hope that new email system that's supposed to be in the works (the one that thwarts spoofing) finally comes out...and works.
Sigh. :roll:
