Re: Virus again
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.

Re: Virus again
If I get e-mail from the customer with virus I'll inform him/her about the virus. 99.9% of customers would eliminate the source of the virus. If they refuse to do so I would probably not want to deal with them even as customers. It would not make any impact on the business if I lost 0.1% of my customers and that action would actualy work for me because all good people out there would know I don't challenge my values. It is like going to an unsanitized doctor's office, catching something there and doctor's claiming: 'you didn't get it from my office you got it from one of my patients'. That is what doesn't make scence I can even handle annoying recruter's e-mails but not e-mails with viruses.
