Yes, no e-mail from the list contains virus. The case is even worse: he is
not attacking the list; he attacks us(users of the list) personally one by
one. There is definately an association between this list and the person
speading the virus because virus comes as a reply to the list posts. I'd
like to ask a question: are our e-mail addresses widely available to anyone
and there is nothing we can do about it? I had an impression it wasn't the
case. I would call it privacy violation(very strong statement, probably too
strong) or using technical list to do his durty business(more applicable to
the situation). From now on I will think twice before signing up for
another list, posting messages, or replying to them. Yes, you're right I
would not block my customers or friends e-mails because people who have any
respect for themselves would clean their machine up after becoming aware of
the virus. The problem here is that person has been notified by number of
people and he keeps doing it. So, regardless on us individually blocking
his e-mails we need to get to the root of this problem and BLOCK that
person's access to the list. It becomes clear he is doing it deliberatly.
Or you would say: 'Let him do it?' That would not be a good sign....
