Way OT: Redhat addresses caught by My ISP mail scanner

This is really off topic, but a concern I would like to see if it could 
be corrected.

The message header that my ISP scanner caught was from several Redhat 
addresses (bogus, I realize)

The header contained this information <excerpt> on the virus screened 
mail. I usually just delete the message and move on. Since it came from 
this list, shortly after I posted the messed up modprobe.conf file. I 
think that a clue might be someone infiltrating through the web 
interface or is still an active subscriber.

Maybe your log files can determine if the perpretrator was doing 
something during the time or if the messages are being intercepted, 
contents changed or whatever.

sorry for the way off topic post.
