It means some user with more paranoia than clue saw that the four letters '.', 'e', 'x', 'e' showed up in a URL in that order, adjacent to each other, and promptly had a cow. The security industry calls this an IWF or BWF incident (idiot/bozo with firewall), and rank it right up there with complaints like 'ns1.your.site is portscanning me from port 53' or 'ntp-1.your.site is portscanning me from port 123'. To fix this you have two main choices: 1) Find a baseball bat and do the emotionally satisfying thing. :) 2) Do this: a) cd ~apache/cgi-bin (or wherever you keep it) b) mv wa.exe wa.cgi c) ln -s wa.cgi wa.exe (for those who have .exe addresses bookmarked) d) in ~listserv/go.user, find the line: WWW_ARCHIVE_CGI="/cgi-bin/wa.exe" and change the .exe to .cgi. Works fine - in fact, it's been called wa.cgi for *ages* at my site.
