Heh.

That one sure looks like a Klez worm to me.  A file called "width.exe"
masquerading as a .JPG, the forged HELO with a capitalized fake
hostname, the Klez-y subject.  The probably forged "From:" line swiped
from the address book of the true host of this worm, of whom all we know
is that his mail emerged to the Internet via 203.88.156.147, claiming to
be be webloc.portofmundra.com, a claim not supported by the DNS.

Have you folks over there at lprng considered doing a bit of
pre-filtering on the mailing lists?  I don't know what majordomo
provides these days, but it should be pretty easy to add a procmail
filter up-front, maybe one that invokes Vipul's Razor via SpamAssassin
to sideline suspicious posts until a list manager gets a chance
to vette them?

At SSC we use such a setup to front-end a bunch of Mailman lists.
We've had pretty good luck with not broadcasting vermiform things,
even though at least one of our lists is open to public posting.
