gcc-cvs mailing list and viruses

gcc-cvs mailing list and viruses

[Ranjit Mathew]

Hi,

    There seem to be a lot of viruses sent to the
gcc-cvs mailing list - in fact, any message whose
subject does not start with "gcc/" seems to be a
virus.

How come this list is singled out like this? Or is
it that we actively filter out viruses from other
mailing lists and do not bother with this list?

Thanks,
Ranjit.

AFAICT, there has been no spam to gcc-cvs since I made this change but
there have been twelve blocked attempts to send spam there.
