Greetings... Someone posted a virus to one of my lists, POLICE-L, yesterday. LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU is running LISTSERV(R) for NT 1.8d and I do have Attachments= No in the list header. Still, this one slipped through. I'd love to know why and/or whether there's anything (else) that can be done to prevent it from happening again. My first thought was that it wasn't really an attachment (for lack of boundary). But this is in the message header: Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Very Funny.vbs" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Very Funny.vbs" Also, a number of subscribers reported that their anti-virus programs snagged the post, and they even snagged the DIGEST messages containing the post. Rather than include the entire message here (where it would only cause further concern), I've thrown it up here: http://members.home.net/lists/police-lpost.htm What you see there is exactly what I got when reading the post here in my VM account. Obviously, my subscribers are concerned. Any advice on what I can tell them? Has anyone else dealt with this before? Is this the first time someone has seen an attachment that doesn't act like an attachment? Thanks. - Alex, list owner of POLICE-L [log in to unmask] ....................................................................
