Fwd: [cvsnt] VIRUS IN YOUR MAIL

[Erv Walter]

Have you considered configuring the mailing list to only accept messages
from subscribers?  There are tradeoffs involved to doing that, but it
would eliminate these posts (since, for example,
postmaster at mail-relay2.sift.co.uk is probably not a subscriber to this
list).

The virus (sobig I presume) fakes from addresses.  Some people have
braindead AV scanners that blindly spam every faked address with these
'warnings'.

I'd start blacklisting, but it's a moving target at the moment... best
to wait until it calms down a bit.
