I am putting this here because I suspect that this is where most people go first. I recieved this in my email so John Pytlak and CSS Inc. should probably check for a virus that they inadvertantly got. I do NOT have either one in my address book so I feel that it is not on my end. There was one other address but I did not recognize that one. So 3 addresses and 6 messages was the total of what I received. I did not want to use email for the obvious reasons.

Brad, you may deleate this message as soon as you know that John and CSS Inc have seen it. Whether this has anything to do with the Code Red virus or not, I do not know. Messages I recieved follows in full.

Bob, I tried to email you, but they keep getting bounced back. You have this virus in your system and I know that at least I have received it several times from your account already.

Go to the Yak forum and find the thread "why no worms or viruses for the Mac" where I have posted the fix.

Bob: It appears that the Kodak Mailgate1 proxy rejected your mail because it contained a virus. The virus was in your note, and was not able to enter the Kodak system. Good luck in cleansing your system.
