I've checked the logs for the ietf+censored list after the recent ILU virus
that was sent to the list, 3 days after the initial release of the virus.
25-30 recipients (out of 147) rejected the message. Many more probably just
caught it and deleted it. People are quick to install filters.
What's more interesting is that some of the next messages, discussing the
virus, perhaps containing deactivated copies, but NOT containing a "live"
virus, were *also* rejected by almost all the people who rejected the virus
posting itself.
The filters seem simplistic. Or perhaps just erring on the side of safety.
