The list software filters out virus's, jpeg's and other attachments. It
also filters out html if you normally send such email. The software itself
doesn't run on Windows. All of the above get bounced to me, filling my
mailbox.
Note that this virus (using it's name causes about 5% of the
Chile-Heads mail to be bounced by filters in use by various folks) forges both
the From: and the To: lines. So, someone on the list, or who has the list's
email stored on their system is infected, and probably sent out your infected
message. Again, it wasn't the list that sent it out.
Please take this discussion off the list as my CH mailbox gets about 100
messages/day, 85-90% of which is spam, virus's etc. Using the 'K' word adds to
this, unfortunately.
Thanks
Mike
