        These spoofed virii/worm/whatnot emails can be
somewhat prevented in a few cases by the utilization of SPF

        http://spf.pobox.com/

        I encourage people to look at this, review it for its merits and
look at using it.  Then if the nanog list were to be use spf, it could
help prevent these booogus emails from reaching the list.
