From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Richard Joyce To: "'sourcenav@sources.redhat.com'" Cc: "'sourcenav-owner@sourceware.cygnus.com'" Subject: virus forwarded by a mailing list program is unacceptable: I am unsubscribing Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 08:12:00 -0000 Message-id: <50A89B19AEAAD411B9D200A0C9FB5699FFC4D8@craius.cportcorp.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-q3/msg00071.html Sirs: With all due respect I must unsubscribe to limit my exposure. My company goes to great pains to protect its network against viruses, but I cannot risk being a member of any mailing list until this issue is resolved. The following response from Mo De Jong is quite unnerving. While I do not know for sure if there is anything that can be done to block a virus on a digest message, I believe that the parties responsible for promoting and supporting the sourcenav mailing list must do more than what is suggested below. ...from Mo De Jong 7/24/01 "Yes, people are sending that virus around on mailing lists. If folks are foolish enough to use Windows to read email, there is not much we can do to help. The best advice is don't open attachments you get in email, or simply don't use Windows. This is not a new problem. "
