[sane-devel] Virus warning: Abuse of sane-devel email addresses

Hi,

in the last two days I received two emails with faked addresses that 
claimed to be sent via sane-devel (but in fact were not). Both emails 
contained a .pif file which, I assume, contains a virus. DO NOT OPEN 
THIS FILE.

The sender names were taken from SANE-Devel (Martin Kho, Henning 
Meyer-Geinitz). The email address of the sender, however, was faked 
(see attached mail below). To make the mail look more authentic it 
also gives a small quote from an previous email to sane-devel.

I don't think such mails can be prevented, but, as always, you should 
take extra care when opening attachements, even from people you 
recognize from the mailing list.
