Colleagues--an important message about the nifl.gov mailing system--

Subscribers of this list may receive messages like the one below sent to 
their address which LOOK like they come from our address. This email is not coming 
from the NIFL server, the nifl.gov address is being "spoofed", meaning 
someone else is using our email
address to send viruses, etc. Unfortunately, this is very common now. (it is 
also happening with the ed.gov address among others) There is nothing we can 
do to stop these folks from spoofing at this point in time.

Long story short, DO NOT CLICK LINKS in emails like this. 

Please contact me with questions,
