[PHP] Viruses
Does the PHP list not monitor spam or filter out viruses? I am getting a lot of this junk coming through the list. I am also getting some directly to this address, but obviously that is out of the lists control. Thanks B

Some spammer manually validate their addresses and then spam. It's very difficult to stop those. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Viruses
As Rasmus said, they filter as much as they can on the list. But consider this... if someone's machine is infected and they below to this email list, it can harvest your email address and either spam (or send malware) from their PC to you or send your email address to somewhere else where it can be used as a To: field for spam/virus/trojan/whatever emails. Some items that appear to be coming from the list may not be going through PHP-General's list serv at all, therefore they may have zero control over whether you receive it or not.
