It looks like the latest virus-of-the-day forges
the "From" address, using an address in the infected
victim's address book. Unfortunately, someone has
barc-list in their address book, and the virus is
sending out its spew, lookling like it came from here.
BARC-list will never (actually, the list software doesn't
allow it) send out attachents. If you get a mail with
an attachment that claims to come from it, delete it.
This is yet another reminder to use an anti-virus
program on all of your computers and keep its data file
up to date, and to keep up with the endless stream
of security updates from your OS vendor (or switch to
a real OS like VMS :-)
