[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Administrative message

[Jerry Frank]

 From time to time we experience floods of email viruses and this past week 
is one of those.   You have probably heard about them in your newspapers.

I do not like to use this list for the purpose of discussing viruses but 
there appears to be a genealogy connection to this one.  Please DO NOT 
respond to this message on the list.  If you have any further comments, 
please direct them to me personally.

It appears that viruses are being distributed with my address spoofed in 
the return line.  Since these are bouncing back to me at both my 
GPVListAdmin and my personal FranklySpeaking addresses, the originating 
source must have both of these addresses in their address book.  This 
points to someone with a genealogy connection (more specifically, probably 
someone associated or connected to SGGEE in some way) as the source of the 
virus.

Please know that all my incoming mail is scanned by updated virus detection 
software and any legitimate email message sent from me is also scanned 
outgoing.  If you receive a virus message with my apparent return address, 
rest assured it did not originate with me.

We remind you that our mailing list distribution system has various steps 
of protection built into it to prevent the spread of both viruses and spam 
directly through it.

As always, practice safe computing and enjoy your hobby in spite of these 
inconveniences.
