I had a problem where the Klez worm submitted itself onto one of my moderated
lists. I prevented any further submissions by using Send=Editor,Hold,Confirm
and Attachments=No in the list header. This prevents the Klez worm from using
a list-distributed message (which has the Approved-By tag) to successfully
post to a moderated list since a successful posting requires the additional
confirmation. The Attachments keyword blocks the worm since it distributes
itself exclusively as a MIME attachment.

I get spam messages to "request" even on a dormant list I have.  Many are
from Korea.  I have also begun to get messages from nonsubscribers
to "request" on my active list that appear to be spam carrying the Klez
virus.
Help!
