Hi!

Nope, I can't and won't. The system that is running this list is far to
small to do virus scanning of running mail. Usually mails don't go through -
in this case it was Garth address that was used and that is allowed in the
list server. And my other system isn't that small, but won't run a virus
scanner, too - it does have some smaller filters, though. Maybe I could
switch the list to the sympa install on simon.bofh.ms ...

I didn't see the mail, because company mail is filtered on the mail cluster
and home mail refuses to accept executable content in mail :-)

bye, Georg
