[ale] Apparently used in spam or virus distribution

[John Mills]

ALErs -

This morning I received two notices from UK recipients to the effect that 
mail from me contained suspect attachments, identified in one case as a 
PIF file.

As I am not aware of sending any mail to these recipients and do not have 
copies of the suspect mail, I can't tell whether they represent a 
compromise of my Linux-2.4.20 system, the Pine newsreader, fetchmail, 
sendmail, or some other link of the chain.

Any suggestions for learning if this is really my problem?

Thanks.
