If you get messages from klarinet-owner@-----.org or
klarinet-digest-owner@-----.org be
aware that these are viruses being sent from some poor soul's machine, not
from my mail server. While those are valid inbound addresses, they're not
used as outbound addresses.

We've discussed this before - just because email seems to come from
someone you know it doesn't me that it really is - headers are easy to
write! You'd have to dig a little deeper and find out that the machine it
comes from isn't the machine you'd think it should come from. All the mail
from the mail server here is from mail.sneezy.org.
