I've already stated that I've modified my incoming mail filters so that
these viruses will no longer hit TMDA. I feel bad that others were affected
due to my misconfiguration, but it was user error (or laziness in this case)
that caused this, not a fundamental problem with the software.
When the next address-spoofing virus hits, if I need to update my filters
again, I'll make a better effort to do it ASAP instead of letting it go for
several days.
