I retract my statement about not filters on the list server.

Bummer that that happened.  Could have happened to any of us.  Hope everyone
survives this latest onslaught of viral idiocity

Good to see a number of proactive antivirus setups out there.  Although
someone on the list obviously opened the attachment and was infected.
I do see that the list server doesn't have any antivirus software on it or
it would have caught the attachment before if resent it to everyone.
