It seems that the ietf-types list is not only a favourite target of spammers, it is also a favourite target for virii :-( After the recent slew of virii that were successfully faking the sender address and getting through to the list, I have finally knuckled under and installed a virus scanner on the host that is hosting the mailing list. So all recognized virii will now be sent to /dev/null - and anyone who attaches an .exe file to the list will receive a nastygram from the virusscanner, and NOT get their mail sent to the list. Hope this makes your lives a little easier..... take care! Harald
