I get virus' from the list but not from "true" members of the list. They are from spoofed email addresses like security () microsoft com posting to the list.
about the only virus that can get through this list is the honor system virus, whereupon receiving it, you delete a bunch of random files, forward the emal, and reboot. Those virus alert are most likely the cause of someone you've emailed sometime in your life getting mydoom or a similar virus. It's pretty simple to tell if it came from this list, look for attachements. It's a coincidence move on. --Bryan On Wed, 2004-02-11 at 10:40, Vines Scott D 2d Lt AFFTC/IT wrote:Hi all, I recently joined this list, and ever since I've been getting an insane number of virus e-mails. Since I wasn't getting any before and this is the ONLY mailing list I'm on with this address, I'm pretty certain they are coming from this list. Please run a scan on your systems, as a virused IDS mailing list is insanely ironic...
