Had to think when I read it...most of us never get an email from management@alphaville.de anyway, though I think most people would have opened it out of curiosity if they hadn't been told not to.

Having said that, I suppose this thing couuld use any of the alphaville.de addresses anyway.

There is a new worm doing the rounds though - Alphaville probably just got unlucky.

Just because alphaville.de looks like its the sender, it doesn´t mean anything, there are worms around that have their own smtp mail sender, so they can look like anything. A good way to avoid this, is not to have mailadress public anywhere on the net. Using mailforms instead is much safer.
