I feel it's a wise choice to do so if possible, for obvious >reasons. Bill, as far as I know these viruses are not going through the list. The message header you pasted below indicates that pretty clearly. The virus forges random email addresses in the from: field, so what you see in from is not where the virus really came from. That seems to confuse a lot of people, and some have thought a virus came from the list when it did not. You have to look at the received: fields in the message header. If you ever do see something like that go through the list, let me know. The LD list does reject posts based on file size, which would stop most of these things if somehow they were directed to the list. The list also doesn't allow posting unless the sender is subscribed to the list. I see the list rejecting virus and spam mails this way all the time. I've long planned to reject attachments also, but haven't gotten around to it. thanks, kim >================ >Return-Path: <pantonio@pacbell.net> >Delivered-To: billfox@fast.net >Received: (qmail 7564 invoked from network); 24 May 2002 03:09:46 -0000 >Received: from newmx1.fast.net ([209.92.1.31]) (envelope-sender <>) > by mailstore1.fast.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with QMQP > for <>; 24 May 2002 03:09:46 -0000 >Delivered-To: CLUSTERHOST newmx1.fast.net billfox@fast.net >Received: (qmail 1700 invoked from network); 24 May 2002 03:09:45 -0000 >Received: from unknown (HELO mta5.snfc21.pbi.net) ([206.13.28.241]) >(envelope-sender <pantonio@pacbell.net>) > by newmx1.fast.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP > for <billfox@fast.net>; 24 May 2002 03:09:45 -0000 >Received: from Thd ([63.199.6.112]) > by mta5.snfc21.pbi.net (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 (built May 7 >2001)) > with SMTP id <0GWL00GOII3YOE@mta5.snfc21.pbi.net> for billfox@fast.net; >Thu, > 23 May 2002 20:09:45 -0700 (PDT) >Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 20:09:34 -0700 (PDT) >Date-warning: Date header was inserted by mta5.snfc21.pbi.net >From: douglas <douglas@idealab.com> >Subject: Spice girls' vocal concert >To: billfox@fast.net >Message-id: <0GWL00GOKI3YOE@mta5.snfc21.pbi.net> >MIME-version: 1.0 >Content-type: multipart/alternative; > boundary="Boundary_(ID_xRXPRqjApT1C9Qrepv+ALw)" >----- Original Message ----- >From: "douglas" <douglas@idealab.com> >To: <billfox@fast.net> >Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:09 PM >Subject: Spice girls' vocal concert > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
