I agree; throwing out Microsoft software can't do anything but improve
any company's business operation in the long run.  Though in this case,
the offending message wasn't from anyone at OpenSRS, it was merely
distributed by an OpenSRS list.

It might also be a good idea to set up your list software to bounce any
list submissions with attachments that have MIME-types other then than
"text/*".  It's simpler than running every submission through a virus
scanner, and can be done simply by wrapping your majordomo wrapper in
procmail with the necessary bounce recipes.

Just a few minutes of setup, I'd expect, along with insignificantly more
resources required for each list submission.
