I'm not sure how to view this one. OK, it talks about SCO so it is Linux related, it talks about Windows so it's off topic
Since - as a linux user - my mail box has been filling up with email generated either directly by this virus or indirectly by email servers informing me (in error) that I have sent them an infected email - then I figure it is _on_ topic. OK so - a virus checker program running on a mail server recognises that an email contains an attachment that has been generated by a viral program capable of pretending to send emails from any addresses it picks up in the infected users computer. How difficult can it be for that program _not_ to send a message to the alleged sender informing them that they have sent an infected message??? Just for the record - the email address in question is not the one I use for this list, but my work address, which unfortunately appears on a few web sites.
How credible is SCO's response? Does this damage the image of the Linux community / strengthen the SCO case? Or will this simply be seen as a one-off malingerer shooting his/her mouth off?
Depends who is listening, clued up IT person, average journalist trying to make a story or politician.
