Re: [F_MINOR] Eek! .exe file sent from f_minor
Hi All,
f_minor is configured to disallow attachments. The software will reject
any email sent to f_minor@email.rutgers.edu that has an attachment on it
such as the .exe file Elmer describes. That doesn't mean that the
address itself can't be faked by a virus program, however. In other
words an email can LOOK as if it were from f_minor but really is not.
Any email address can be faked. For these reasons never open unexpected
attachments even if it looks like the mail is from a friendly source.
