thought i would share this with you all! Virus alert - this one is real VIRUS -- THIS ONE APPEARS TO BE VALID. BE CAREFUL! Check it for yourself at http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mailserver.asp These warnings usually are hoaxes.... this appears to be valid. Warn ASAP everyone you know not to open an e-mail with 'Mail Server Report' in the subject line. This one is real! This is a Bad Virus. Please don't open! Delete the e-mail. This one checks out http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mailserver.asp and is a bona fide virus; hence, the warning. Any email with 'Mail Server Report' in the subject line is a new virus and should not be opened. It comes with an attachment in 'zip format'. Apparently, there is a Zip file attached; so, be very leery of anything with a zip file on it. The message tells you that a worm was detected in an e-mail that you sent out and asks you to open and install the attachment to fix the Problem. DO NOT DO IT! good luck chris.
