And how would that help???? If someone on this list receives a virus runs it, the virus goes through there contacts list collecting all the e-mail addresses from it (including the mailing list if it's in the contacts list) and then sends itself out via their account from a subscribed address. Even banning attachments wouldn't help 'cos this happened to another mailing list I'm on, they ban attachments but the BadTrans e-mail just found everyone's e-mail address that was in the inbox and sent them the virus with the [DEAF UK] attachment in the subject so it even looked as if it came from the mailing list.

Why not set up a filter that only accepts mails from a subscribed address. Hm, as I'm typing this, I already know the answer: it's pretty simple to fake a FROM field in a mail, so filtering on that won't do any good.
