With all this talk about virus problems, I have to state again, the virus
is NOT coming from the list. The virus may come from a subscriber, but it
does not come from the list. There are two preventions on this:
1. The list is moderated, either self-moderated when the subscriber address
equals the address in the subscriber list or by the moderator (me).
2. The list does not allow attachments to go through.
I know I have been hit a couple of times this past week with the Sircam
virus. Fortunately, our mail gateway software stripped the attachment from
the message before it got to me. One came from a person with one of the
schools in AZ, the other I have no idea where it came from. Very strange
virus since I am not sure where it picks up addresses to replicate, unlike
others e-mail viruses that use Microsoft Outlook.
