resends itself with random adresses from its acquired eMail collection. This
means that any mail with a KLEZ-infected attachement probably was not sent from
the eMail account which is displayed. So your infected
DCML-mails probably were not sent by DCML. At some point in the past a
computer of someone who had the DCML in his address book was in<SPAN

was infected which had your eMail adress in its adress
book.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

do not get any KLEZ-Mails: Even if the KLEZ-Virus sends infected eMails to the
list, these do not reach the list because it will post under a
randomly chosen eMail address - which most probably will not be a list member so
the mail will be blocked and not reach the
list.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
