Mr. Starta,
Thank you for your message. However, my mail client is not equipped to
handle the blocking of messages that emanate from different senders at
different times with different content. The simplest technique is to simply
block everything coming from the IETF mail list, I suppose. That would
certainly reduce the "noise" to which you refer. Heck, you would have the
reflector all to yourself (except for the virus writers) if everyone
followed your recommendation.

All of which could have been easily filtered locally on your workstation.
Rather than contribute to the noise, perhaps learning how to use the basic
capabilities of your mail client would be time better spent.

It's kind of ridiculous.

i think *1* virus-attached e-mail going through the IETF list will
result
in
10s or 100s of the warnings (if that is what you are talking about).
