What a mess. Vermin backscatter.
Would all list subscribers kindly update their anti-virus software and
run anti-virus checks on their Windows computers?
Thank you.
In the not too distant future we'll all be using C-R systems or lodged
public keys to check who may post to mailing lists...
Sounds good. Except it may be a little hard to get EVERY one to use
public keys. Especially (a) windows users and (b) users of webmail and
other email that doesn't have built in key handling.
Other wise, I'm all for it. (Maybe for those with out a public key they
can have a set signature so that the filtering software can let them
through.)
