Thanks for the alert.

This was a "clever" virus which managed to slip the mail verifications
done by the squid-cache.org mailinglist server.

Have now added a simple rule which should block any messages attempting to
do similar things, so hopefully this was the last copy we have seen of
this one on the mailing list.

Duane is quite innocent in this. The virus just masqueraded itself using
his address. For the interested the actual sources was:
