JimT,
    This is a bit off topic but I think it is unlikely
that if someone on the list has a virus they will be
any cause for alarm.
Avoid sending or recieving attachment to the list and
all will be fine.   The list will not publish any
attachments in the digest mode so switch to that if
you have not yet done so and avoid any list members
who send you attachments that look like a problem.
          regards gary

there are now at least three someones on the lists
(vanagon and/or
wetwesties) infected.  the ip checks put one in MS
Mail servers and
two in the PACBELL servers.

I have sent notes to security at PACBELL and they are
tracking. but
advised me that W32SoberX and W32Mytob-fa are both
running rampant
again right now.

both of these can only attack windows systems and both
attack the
standard address book if the proper security updates
have not been
installed on the systems.  request windows users run a
proper virus
checker and install your security updates.

the viruses are only coming to an email address i use
for vanagon and
wetwesties.  using some search parameters against the
incoming mail
to match virus against normal mail i have matched 6
possible computers.
