Sorry if I was not clear. I know most of the people who are allowed to send mail to me, especially files. I get files every day from clients with whom I have a business arrangement. I have filtering rules that let these senders and files into my computer. But a mailing list is more of an unknown, since people are added to it silently all the time. My filtering rules accept messages from mailing list members, but I don't expect the mailing list to allow them to send files as well, let alone a virus. -- John De Hoog http://dehoog.org ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
