I think this is the risk you take if you use a vital email address to post
to public forums.  I would suggest using seperate addresses for these
functions.  Besides, if you don't have the ability to filter mail, just the
sheer daily volume of *legitimate* mail on this list is going to be a
problem.

Including me -- I've been subscribed to the Samba list for years and I don't
get unmanagable numbers of viruses.

I've also seen bursts of virus traffic for no apparent reason.  It could be
a coincidence.  Correlation != causation.

There's also always the question of what your ISP is doing.  My
ameritech.net account gets vast quantities of spam, and started getting it
before I even used it!  I can only assume Ameritech is selling their email
list.
