[Dega-sysadmin] RE: [Web] Twincities IMC Admin down

[Quinten Steenhuis]

Hi,

Actually it's very common for viruses to use fake "from" addresses in 
their email. The server that hosts your IMC, Dega, is running FreeBSD, not 
Windows (the W32 in the virus signature) and isn't susceptible to any of 
these mass emailer worms that are currently out there.

I don't know if any of the people with access to the Dega tech side of 
things knew about your problems. It sounds from the description below 
though that one of the database tables may be damaged.
