RE: Mailing list issues (was Re: [PLUG] The spirit also took Scrooge)

Thanks, Bill, for the great explaination.

It's nice knowing that something is being done about the problem.

I am just amazed at the shear number of people who traverse the internet and
fail to take adequate protection for their machines.  But, it's truly
disheartening when you see it on security related sites like OpenSSL and
Netfilter.

I assume you are trying to find out why virus scanning was disabled and to
get it reactivated, no?

We don't control the server which hosts the mailing list and the web
page.  The resources are graciously provided by Nothinbut.net.  (I
wonder if that would be considered a PLUG for them...)  I was under the
impression that all mail to the list was getting virus scanned.  I
checked my personal archive, and it turns out that October 8 was the
last day that happened.  Apparently there was a configuration change on
that day.  (BTW, the headers to look for are X-Virus-Scanned and
X-VirusScan.)
