Re: [FWDLK] virus here

[Dave Stragand <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just as a reference, it's not possible for a mailing list to "be infected",
so anyone with fears can rest easier.  It is possible though for viruses to
be distributed -via- a mailing list, be we have taken steps to help prevent
that as well.

The virus Jim Wilson was referring to is too big to "fit" onto the mailing
list... in fact, any message that goes over 200 lines in length will get
rejected.  I've set it that way specifically to block harmful attachments
like viruses from getting distributed via our list.

Thank you Jim. Are you referring to "our" FWDLK email group being
infected - or your company's system?
