This is the message I sent last week to ALL the lists I have, at all of
my domains. That covers 80+ lists over 6 different domains.....

-----------------------
All,
I have just received a request for approval for a message containing
information about the so-called "Deeyenda" virus.
The "Deeyenda" virus is a hoax. It does not exist. There is no such
thing as virus which can execute simply by being passed in e.mail. If you
want more info about this and other hoaxes, point your browser at
http://www.kumite.com/myths/
There was also an Information Bulletin sent out by the CIAC last week that
is "Recommended Reading".
Title: Internet Hoaxes: PKZ300, Irina, Good Times, Deeyenda, Ghost
URL: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/bulletins/h-05.shtml
Please be VERY CAREFUL when you send messages such as this, or other
security threats. Check your sources and make sure what you post is
correct.
If you RECEIVE any messages purporting to warn you of "email viruses", be
sure to also point those ill-informed individuals to sites such as those
above, so they can get educated, too!
Regards.
Bill
