Don is right and wrong .. as are you..

the best thing to do is to either delete the subscriber OR set to both
NOMAIL and NOPOST.. most of the times I've seen this virus being sent
back to the sender of posts .. so NOPOST alone won't help except to keep
it from going to the list address.

Frankly, I deleted our infected subscriber until he wrote me and I knew he
was disinfected and of course warned the list.
