Theos-Talk Archives (June 2001 Message tt00006)

Hi. I tried to reply to this message just a moment ago, but somehow
my reply got dropped, and only the quoted text appeared.

It looks like yahoogroups does not filter attachments for
viruses. This means that any yahoogroups mailing list that
we belong to that allows attachments could be sending us
viruses. But this is also true of email from friends and
strangers as well.

We need to keep our virusscan software and definitions up to date.
On my laptop, Norton Antivirus has caught an email virus twice
this week.

Regarding the situation with theos-talk, I've deleted the
infected email from the list. I've also changed the list
so that attachments with messages are discarded. If anyone
has a small attachment they'd like to include with a message
to theos-talk, send it to me and I'll virusscan it and post
it to the list for them.
