did you all notice these messages above in the digest?  this has been going on for a while now.  since the list strips the attachments, the viruses were not sent in the digest, but i have also received the virused messages with "aquatic-plants" as the sender.  when you look at the full header, you see that the originating address is a different one (but unfort. it's usually a fake one).  i have also received viruses from addresses disguised as coming from tom barr and others in the list.  this is obviously not accidental, someone is out there maliciously sending viruses using the addresses of people in this list.

is there a moderator in the list?  can you block midgatutordigests at yahoo_com (probably a fake address) from the list?
