For no particularly good reason, I just thought I would post some random statistics for the last 24 hours. Any email that arrives to any of the wine-lists from an unsubscribed email address goes to the moderator. The moderator then manually "approves" the legitimate ones. For the 24 hour period May 10, 11am PDT to May 11, 11am, here is what was received for moderation: wine-announce 34 spam wine-bugs 47 spam wine-cvs 41 spam wine-license 16 spam wine-devel 4 legitimate 54 spam wine-patches 81 spam wine-release 1 spam wibe-users 3 legitimate 22 spam A couple of the "spam" were actually viruses, but I did not pay close enough attention to determine how many.

A short time ago Slashdot reported that some of the spam are meant to infect your computer, and use it as spam relay. Maybe some of the viruses you got were really both. -- Shachar Shemesh Open Source integration consultant Home page & resume - http://www.shemesh.biz/
