To NIFL-Povracelit List Subscribers:

We have received a message from the NIFL Lists manager that all the NIFL electronic discussions lists' email addresses being "spoofed." Please see message below:

Thanks,

*****
It looks like someone or something is once again spoofing our list's email addresses and sending viruses to a few of our subscribers (meaning our address shows up in the "from" box, but it did not come from our server).

Official NIFL list email should have the list name capitalized within straight brackets (example [NIFL-ESL: 1234] or [NIFL-PLI]) in the subject line of all NIFL list emails. If the subject line does not contain this text, it is probably a "spoofed" email that may contain a virus or a link to a virus or spyware and should be deleted.
