possible list virus?

... I don't admin this list, but I do know that on the urq list the server
has been catching and cleaning posts.  Since Dan has installed the MIME and
attachment filter I would say the risk of getting a virus via the list is
nil.

That said, I too have been receiving virus laden e-mails to my mailbox from
listers.  I think the mechanism is that the messages are being sent by
people who just happened to have my e-mail address in thier book when their
system was infected.  So far I've managed to stay clean AFAIK by using
caution and anti-virus tools ...

HTH!
