Linda and list, It is common these days to get warnings from your ISP that you have received mail they have blocked due to virus infection. These viruses, trojans and worms are designed to spread themselves using stealth techniques that include *FORGING* the appearance of a legitimate message by grabbing addresses, subject lines, and sometimes parts of the text from a random message on the hard drive of the infected machine. That's one reason Linda could have gotten that message from her ISP. If any of our several hundred subscribers is infected, their machine could have faked a digest message and tried to send it to her and anybody else whose address can be found on the machine's hard drive. I just manually scanned the digest that ev1.net claimed contained a virus and it is *clean.* There are no suspicious attachments, scripts, or anything else I can detect, except the usual lazy HTML encoded mail people insist on sending instead of plain text. If ev1.net is consistently rejecting the *REAL* silver-digest, then the best way to solve the problem is either to get their tech support people to tweak the filters to let it through, or to sign up for the individual e-mail version of the list. Linda, I can see you're using a version of Eudora. I *know* that Eudora has a filtering feature that would let you sort your incoming silver- list mail to its own folder. Learning how to use it would simplify all your mailing list related activities. There's nothing to be gained by not getting the list as e-mail, as the *LIST* HAS NOT SENT ANY INFECTED MESSAGES as far as I can tell from here, and isn't likely to. <cross fingers and knock on wood> I've got filters set up to block mail containing most suspicious attachments from being relayed, plus most of the viruses are too big to pass the list message size limit. So I see them here as list owner, but you don't.
