Tell me about it! This happened to one of our LISTOWNERS -- and, of course,
it could have been ANY address. Like you, we had ATTACH= No. We are
investigating using the advanced filtering in 1.8e but of course, we'll have
to keep up to date with the current virus du jour's list of possible subject
lines....

BTW Re. private, moderated lists, I'm confused. Why doesn't Listserv reject
messages from nonsubscribers and THEN send the remainder to the moderators?
Is there a reason for this behavior?
