Did anybody see such a thing? I have had no indication of the list server forwarding any dangerous attachments or other miscreants, or even blocking any from being sent. If, however, you received a message doctored to look like an old list message, Mike, it was generated by another list member's infected machine that happened to harvest such a message to use as a disguise. There is no way for me to create a defense against this since it all happens directly between the infected machine and it's victims, not involving the list server at all. All posters on any list are vulnerable to this kind of attack. Also, some antivirus software will false trigger on some of the harmless attachments that people send, like vcards and such. I have some anti-virus provisions installed on the list server. They are effective, so far, but could always be thwarted by something unforeseen. If you have real evidence of something getting through the list server, let me know. If not, please don't needlessly cast suspicion on the list itself. Always have antivirus software running on your machine, everyone, and keep it up to date.
