Am I the only one receiving this message? I have received another one
last days. If so, there is someone infected that is subscribed to this
list. Could be smithj himself, but usually the sender is forged. The two

Please note that the message has the list headers, so it has indeed been
sent to the list from someone subscribed (only subscribed members can post).
Yes, I'm annoyed by malwares sent on discussion lists.

i also got that, much to my surprise. i send all email through toucan
and my ip is 166.82.xxx.xxx, so it can't be me. i run only gentoo and
mozilla tb, none of which are prone to worms of this kind. i have no
idea why that person started spoofing ME.

Well, I guess it's time for an AV setup.

Ehh...

No.  It pretends to be smithj, so it *could* be *anyone* from *anywhere*
pretending to be him, not necessarily an actually subscribed user.

There's spamassassin on toucan that you can use.

Filtering the lists leads to a slippery slope.  What happens when you
start getting false positives?

True, but why not filtering binary attachments? *If* you have to send an
attachment to these lists, it should either be plain text or your
gpg-signature.

Why allow attachments at all?  Most of us, if we have something to
share, can stick it up on a little bit of webspace for people to
download at their leisure.

This method is also more efficient too... as those who aren't interested
don't end up having to download it regardless, and also, base64 encoded
files are always slightly larger than the equivalent binary file.

Certainly, it should be safe to block *.{exe,com,bat,pif,zip}.  Very few
viruses pick file formats other than those listed... and those are ones
rarely used on Linux.  (.zip is about the most common of the lot... the
rest are Windows-specific)

Does anyone else appreciate the irony of an email with multiple
attachments which condemns the use of attachments?

It's a bit disconcerting to get spam and virii on a mailing list, but I
agree with Chris. In three posts, we went from "filter viruses" to "BAN
ALL TEH ATTACHMENTS".

I'd rather filter on my end, anyhow. If I screw up and start deleting
messages that ought not be deleted, then I get pissed, learn something,
and fix myself. If somebody else screws up and deletes/munges messages
that ought not be deleted or munged, all I can do is get pissed.

I'm attaching my PGP sig. I hope that's alright with everybody. :-P
