Greetings to All,

I have just received another email from the list that contains a virus, this
email appears to have been posted by <chrisg at doladns.dola.wa.gov.au>, it is
not the first email of this type that I have received in the last few weeks. 

There was also an attachment to this email named 'B962197' and according to
my virus scanner it contained the 'W32/Klez.h at MM' virus.

Could somebody please explain to me 'What is happening here ?'

I am getting the opinion that because Linux may be a lesser risk as regards
viruses that it is still OK for Linux users to allow virus loaded
attachments to go to Windows users.

I may be wrong but I don't think this is a good way to get poeple to change
over to Linux.

See the following for the full content of the affected email message:
