One thing that sucks about this new worm is that it prepends certain
names to the domain name that it obtains. One of those names is my name
"Ray" and so my php user account is ray@php.net. Needless to say i get
tons of emails from sysadmins and virus systems.

just a funny thought...

it's not the worms that suck. it's stupid AV vendors that notify an 
address WHICH IS KNOWN TO BE A RANDOM ONE, AND NOT THE VIRUS SENDER that 
"he sent a virus". That's who sucks. Solution: filter mailer-daemons and 
start using return reciepts to know if your mail was recieved :\ (if you 
care, that is.)
