Summary: The CCP14 servers and employees are not generating or relaying Virus laden E-mail, though fake From: and To: headers may give that impression. Check the Received: fields to see the "source" and "route" the Virus mail has actally taken.

3rd October 2002 Latest update is that some people are receiving virus containing Emails (supposedly advertising CCP14 relevant information) from "Lachlan Cranswick" with an Email address of l.m.d.cranswick@yahoogroups.com. I and the CCP14 do not send Emails with executables. Please do not run any programs sent from these Email addresses and also make sure you have the latest anti-virus program installed on your system.

8th April 2002 People have been receiving Emails from ccp14@dl.ac.uk and l.m.d.cranswick@dl.ac.uk with Email viruses attached. If you look at the headers of these Emails, you will find that they do not orginate from .ccp14.ac.uk or .dl.ac.uk Normal correspondance with the CCP14 uses plain ASCII text with no attachments, HTML or Javascript. If you receive anything unsolicited with such executables, use due care and do not open any executables or run-time programs.
