[Vwdiesel] Another way to defeat the worm (NDC)

The topic of the .klez worm has come up several times.  It was noted that
the worm "spoofs" email addresses and therefore appears to come from someone
other than the actual sender.

My ISP has asked all subscribers  to change the outgoing setting and to
require "authentication" thus defeating the spoofing ability of the worm.
This meant I had to upgrade my "Outlook Express" for Mac to the latest
version which was an hour download but was otherwise painless.  You may want
to investigate doing the same to protect yourself and the list from unwanted
viruses using your email address.
