I have a Linux box that is my gateway to the internet. It seems to be =
working wonderful and my LAN is usable. My question is: Since I have =
gotten my box up and running I have been receiving a bunch of refused =
e-mail messages. Some are refused because of an improper destination =
address or no such address while others are refused by the destination =
computer because they have an executable file attached. I am wondering =
if somehow I have been infected in my Linux box and that it is using my =
e-mail account to send these out. I have run a couple of virus checks =
from Symantec, I have ZoneAlarm installed on my windows box, I have =
removed a virus called the "W32.Bugbear@mm" from my windows box. My =
Linux box is running ClarkConnect based on the Redhat 7.2 distro (or =
7.3). I am wondering if I have the mailserver running on it and if that =
is where all these are being sent from or if there is a log that can =
help me track this down and stop it before it gets worse. I am getting =
almost 2 returned e-mail messages for every legitimate message I =
receive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am very much a =
newbie here. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Cliff Rogers
