Yes, it's the handle of a resident DH administrator. (good friend of mine, we go way back, honest man!!   )
Sorry to say, but I really question the credibility of what this here thread's sayin'. I'm thinkin maybe it was meant to be a joke??  |

Basically, trust no-one....
You can receive a virus from what appears to be the adminstrator of your ISP, or of any other mail provider, because spoofing the address is so ridiculously easy!
And please, never bounce spam - it's usually faked to look like it's from the address of some other guy on the list!

rule of thumb... never open e-mail attachments... no matter who it's from..... and 2nd..... never open an e-mail you aren't expecting even if it seems legit....

If you've recieved an attachment and you weren't expecting it, don't open it even if it's from your mom, the president, or jesus. Perhaps it was CC'ed to all three. If you think it may be legit you could always call the person up and find out what it is. Strangers never send you attachments you need unexpectedly.

why isn't there a move to create a more secure email protocol?
edit: ones that aren't proprietary or owned by a specific company?
