I have not seen the NANOG email problem, but have received several tens
of thousans of SPAM messages that claim to be from
'webmaster@apnic.net'. The originating address in the messages is
66.218.66.70. As David pointed out, this may or may not be correct.

Subject: Virus emails from nanog mail list
Spam may be off topic but in this case relevant. Has anyone else=20
noticed bounced emails that appear to have origionated from their=20
nanog email boxes and contain viruses?
Obviously some bot has gone threw the nanog list and is now forging=20
headers such that they appear to come from those addresses, and they=20
are attaching viruses.
The IP address (which may or may not be accurate) appears to be=20
[195.157.87.253].
Has anyone else noticed this recently?
