There is a worm going around the web that grabs all the email addresses from a site and sends out "spoof" emails with a virus attached.
The worm has harvested all the email addresses on our site and is using them to send out these fake letters. Our site itself is NOT infected, nor is the server. NASA's email addresses have been harvested too, so we're in good company.
Remember, you will NEVER recieve a letter from us with the return address of
[email protected]
We do not have our email set up that way.
More about the virus itself and how to remove it from your computer if you get it:

Expect to get more of these spoof email as the days go on. The internet worm is self-terminating, with a termination date of September 10th, but it just started yesterday on 8/18/03. So be very careful what you open, all you Windows users...this was designed just for you.
Cheers,
