You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That makes sense. We can recruit extra Buffistas, then, if they are concise.
Hey! Stop snickering. It could happen.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
DX, I just checked the mail log files, and the viruses are coming from a system at an Italian ISP: [80.23.235.217] (host217-235.pool8023.interbusiness.it).
Most email viruses don't rely solely on the user's address book to propogate. They scan the user's entire hard drive and look for files containing email addresses. A person's web browser cache is a fertile source of email addresses.
The easiest way to deal with the problem is to go in and prevent non-subscribers from posting to the list.

Okay, first, Yikes! Italy?
Second, good idea about the non-subscribers.
My personal b.org address has also been getting them. Now to figure out what to do about that.

Is that already a switch on the listserv software? Make it so!

BWAH! Laura made me snort really loud.
Is the virus problem fixed? I'll resubscribe if it is. I just can't have viruses on this laptop because I use it on the school network as well as at home, and they already are suspicious of me bringing in "my own outside equipment" into the network.
Jon made me smile, too.

Kristin, I changed the setting so that only list subscribers can actually send stuff out to the list. You should be fine now.
