Yep, I agree with Graham.

a) We run windoze
b) We run outlook
c) We (and some of our clients) are sometimes stupid enough to run unknown
attachments.

yet, although several messages containing the virus have already attempted
to make their way through to users on our mail system, they have been
stopped dead in their tracks!  Not ourselves, nor our clients recieved the
orginal message with the virus.

I'm not just gloating, what I'm actually trying to say that I think ISP's
and mailing list administrators should take it upon themselves to try and
prevent these type of messages of getting through to the users, as the
average user (and by that I defenitely include myself) are not always aware
of what should be done to prevent these type of things...

Warm Regards

c) applies to anybody. Besides which, the mailing list (Or the administrator
thereof) should know better than to accept messages with attachments.
There's no reason for it on a list like this, and there's DEFINITELY no
reason to accept executable attachments.

Not like he's doing it on purpose, it's the newest melissa clone.
He can only be held responsible for
a) running windoze
b) running outlook
c) being stupid enough to run unknown attachments.
