Thanks for letting us know Jeremy.

As Laserlight mentioned, TomB is out of the country so I'm sure he isn't
sending mail, and I *know* it wasn't me.  I don't actually have the
capability to send mail from my PC addressed *from* the webmaster
address...  Our hosting provider only allows *incoming* mail through
their
POP mailer.

On top of that, I have Norton Anti-Virus running here at home... (not a
guarantee by any means, certainly)...

And on top of *that*, I did a search on my PC here for your work address
-
through all my mailboxes that might have it, etc. - and I don't *have*
that
address anywhere....  Maybe TomB has seen it before, but as I said, he's
out of the country this week and away from his 'puters.

I suspect that someone *else* has got a virus, and they had both your
address and the stargrunt.ca address bookmarked... maybe?

Certainly however it wasn't either of us!

If anyone else receives nasties addressed *from* anything@stargrunt.ca
please let us know!

Thanks folks!

Adrian
