ANY open mailing list is a potential source of spam/virus email.  It's
the one downfall to the venue.  I haven't checked yet, but if I got
this, it was caught by SpamAssassin.  I never bother complaining about
these things in open lists, because I understand the need for some
lists to be open.

Check out SA (www.spamassassin.org).  It's free and very effective.

Sorry for continuing the OT thread.
