Is there a Jim.Fritcher at opuswest.com on this mailing list? I have recieved
an e-mail that my message to them has been refused due to a "suspicious
attachment"... Since I don't know this person, I thought it might be a
mailing list thing...

I also got a message that I KNOW I didn't send, to  jobs at bluestone.com ... I
got a message from our IS department warning us about a virus. Our message
from IS reads "DELETE ANY STRANGE OR UNKNOWN EMAILS with attachments." and
goes on to say:
