Me thinks somebody has found a trapdoor in nanog mailsetup and is in
general out to get us ...
This one supposedely came from 203.18.63.43 (australia powerhous museum -
phm.gov.au) and advertises page on ip 165.134.187.102 (saint louis
univerisity - slu.edu). "Connection refused" when I tried to see what's there.

Have you, by any chance, heard of "bcc"? That isn't a bug, that's a feature.
Interesting, it does respond, albiet sporadically.. It contains the usual stuff... a trojan..
It looks like a variant of Psyme.. *sigh*

FYI - if you're on windows machine DON'T TRY TO FOLLOW URL in that post
Somebody sent me a copy of the content and its vbscript that downloads an
image converts it into executable and then probably uses some bug in
microshit products to have it executed. I'm not that good with windows
scripting so whoever of the security people here wants to see it futher if
you can not get it yourself, let me know. Its possible this maybe zombie
making virus using nanog to replicate (somebody's sick joke) but possibly
its more general with other lists too. Spammers and virus writers joined
together are getting nastier and nastier.
Have you, by any chance, heard that most list mailers may be configured to refuse mails where the list-address does appear as Bcc ...

It's another varient of Bagle...
My analysis of it is at: http://www.au.sorbs.net/virus.explain.txt - since then Symantec has release it's more detailed explaination under the headings for Bagle.r and Bagle.s
