Guys,
be careful,
it seems that several Mails in the List have contained
a virus - I guess its sobig.f.

Cheers,

Or that a copy of sobig learned the mailing list address and masqueraded
as being from the list.

I can't see any indication that any virus copies came through the list.
I did see three or four apparently virus-originated messages that got
through the list's filters because the virus attachment had been
stripped before the message got to the list ...
