Hi all, I have just had a new one to me. I received an undelivered mail
message, purporting to come from the "Mail Delivery System". Using
techniques learned from Dave G3YMC, this look very suspicious it does not
contain a message body relating to anything I have sent at any time. There
inadequate information to identify the message so there is a tempation to
open the attachment. The attachment looks very 'dodgy' being a 40k block of
hex, which is disguised to be a WAV file but has one of those suspicious
double extensions (i.e magazine.dat.bat )

I was fooled into opening the attachment originally and it crashed Outlook
Express. I have since scanned with McAfee and it indicates I am not
infected. This may be an innocent error, but I cynically suspect it is an
attempt to get the user to open an extension and activate questionable code.

If anyone knows different...please shoot me down, but in the meantime be
carefull about supposedly "Undelivered Mail" messages.

Cheers de Alan G3NYK
