Circa 2002-Mar-25 09:08:17 -0800 dixit John Hardin: : Can somebody install an attachment filter on the listserv? Why? I'd think that filtering out the yutzes who send viruses to the list would work better. Survival of the fittest, where "fit" implies "not using virus propagation platforms like MS Outlook". : Please? Filtering out attachments also filters out: - Attached patches - Attached config.log files - Attached detached OpenPGP signatures All of which are rather useful here. You'd be better off finding a mail user agent that doesn't execute the content it receives (and joining the ranks of the "fit"). -- jim knoble | jmknoble at pobox.com | http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/ (GnuPG fingerprint: 31C4:8AAC:F24E:A70C:4000::BBF4:289F:EAA8:1381:1491) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
