Hi John,

I really don't know how often this list has to go through this senseless
discussion about virus filtering.

For Christ's sake, implement a proper defense yourself and stop whining.
This is a security related list so I guess the list owner can expect a
little security awareness of the subscribers.

I have recieved two virus infected emails from this list in the last
week. Is it possible to have our list admin run clamav or amavis-new. I
can deal with them on my own, but list-wide screening seems fundamental.

I receive around 80 infected mails a month "from this list", so what?!
Other people receive 2000 infected mails (not necessarily list related)
a week and they don't mind.

no hard feelings,
