Hello all, Being relatively new to the whole mailing-list scene I have a question about the linux mailing-list scene actually (actually part of a mailing list in my windows days).
While browsing my inbox, which I only do every several days, I notice messages from places such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (this was recently, I received (or it was sent?) it: 03.08.28). I am wondering what this is. Did someone send a virus/worm/whatever to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is [EMAIL PROTECTED] a security company protecting us happy debian users from such a horrible thing? Is this a common thing (have seen before, but can't remember where/when)? Did "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mistakingly judge a "normal/safe" message as a threat to our security, and in the end, choose to inform us about the potential threat? I am not afraid of receiving a virus through this list (I could be blind to the danger I don't know about). I never open an attachment from anyone. I am under the impression this is a good thing. (Hint: maybe you could tell me otherwise :)) This isn't an important question, so don't rack your brains. I am simply curious of what it all means. Anything on the matter would be helpful, and greately appreciated. afterthought: while on the windows mailing-list, I never received anything closely related to a "virus warning", which is why I ask the question now, instead of my pre-Linux days. thank you for your time, amg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
