SpamAssassin has blocked all spam/virus mail arriving through this list for me since I started using it. (It hasn't done as well for non-list spam however.) So now I don't see the spam/virus, I just see the handful of 'you sent me a spam/virus' replies that follow each one and are sent erroneously to the list. If I were list manager I would either unzubscribe or block posting from sites generating these replies. -Mitch
