comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix is the de facto apache group. Just don't 
post from an address you don't want spammers to have.

It's true you shouldn't worry, but it's not an attack. Later versions of IE
do this whenever they download a potentially editable file (such as a .doc)
from a web server. It wants to know if the server supports PROPPATCH, COPY,
MOVE for saving the edited file back. The UI may change slightly if yes.

[rcgraves@quixote ~]$ telnet www.brandeis.edu 80
OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.brandeis.edu
