Whilst I don't agree with the general gist of the OT's post - the fact
that someone receives a message allegedly coming from a freebsd list DOES
indicate that someone who has 'freebsd-users@freebsd.org' in their
addressbook was infected with the worm - so what Schalk says is actually
true.

Unsubscribing from the list though does seem a bit of a knee-jerk
reaction... argh I got port-scanned!  <switches off router> :)

Schalk - if your email scanner is working, why worry?
