I've considered this list not virus- or junkmail-specific. Maybe my mistake.

It wasn't even specific to Declude Virus. The reason for the list was that there was a rash of new viruses, and there were concerns about blocking the viruses before the virus definitions were updated. The "virusalert" list for Declude Virus was added to let people know ASAP of new viruses, before virus definitions were available. The idea was that an initial alert would get sent out as soon as we detected that a major new virus was released, with a second E-mail including more details. Since no AV company supplied such a thing (they typically report all new viruses, and send the information hours after the virus starts spreading), it seemed like it would be very useful.


But as soon as we created the list, the viruses died down almost immediately, so as John pointed out, it was only used once.
