You know the old saying, if you don't have something constructive to say.........whine about it on a list.
While I don't approve of the major rant that started this discussion, I do think it's reasonable to ask the administrator, of the system that hosts this list, to run a virus checker on it.
When I worked at Bell Labs, in Research, I ran several company wide mailing lists. I made the decision that I would not be a party to redistributing a single virus-laden email to thousands of users, regardless of whether they had an anti-virus program on their desktop, or not. I couldn't in good conscience say "It's not my problem.", when I would turn one infected email into thousands and then send it merrily on it's way, when I could easily stop it dead, before it ever got to the list. I also did selective attachment dropping too.
So, no rant from me, but I *do* think the list admin (or the admin of the system that hosts the list) should be making every attempt to block virii from this list.
