That address is not in use and should be ignored. I think I've posted about it before.
Also if anyone has 'bluedakini' on your lists, watch out, he's infected with one of those neat virii that makes up new subjects on its own and spreads. It's about 123k in size.
There are also ones out there now that say, for instance, you get one from
[email protected].
Chances are, it NEVER came from HIM, but he was in someone else's book and it just SAYS it came from him. That makes it harder to nail down.
As always, keep your virus definitions up to date and watch the file sizes. If it's not a JPG or an MP3 or a GIF or BMP, then it's probably a virus. If it's over 5k in a reply, unless you're really wordy, watch it as well.
