I''m sure many are aware of this already but I thought I would insinuate
myself for a moment here.
Our mail servers have blocked two posts to this list today, due to them
containing inappropriate file attachments - one with an .SCR file, and one
with a .PIF file.
Yeah, my servers blocked them, no harm done. But I doubt everyone
subscribing to this list is running a setup that blocks these kinds of emails.
Seems that it would be a good idea for the folks running the SMTP server(s)
hosting this list to set up some kind of scanner. Dunno which SMTP software
is running this but we run one called qmail-scanner, it seldom ever even
gets to the point that it actually invokes a virus scanner to scan
attachments, because we have it configured to quarantine any email that
contains any of about 50 different types of inappropriate attachments.
OK, I''ll stop pontificating now....
have a nice day :)
