It's different than spam in a way that as opposed to spam that doesn't really harm your system (Just your brain :) ), you can't have viruses reaching your clients, even if they're marked somehow. Also, the issue with viruses today isn't someone that's sending his friend 3 EXEs and one is accidentally infected with something - It's messages whose entire purpose is the virus, and have nothing other than the virus and a line that says "Open this document" or whatever. I don't want these messages reaching my users, that would just cause confusion, especially with the forged From addresses. Sure, there is that potential 1/10000 message that was sent by a real person that accidentally had a virus, and content is lost... But this is nothing, in my opinion.. Especially compared to the aforementioned mess of allowing the messages auto-created by viruses to move along, even without attachments.. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
