There is a trojan horse / worm virus called GAME2 MODULE making the rounds of BITNET/EARN/etc. I hate to say that many folks got their copy from our NETNWS-L list. What a way to start a week. In the "closing the barn door after the horse is gone" department I did change all our lists to Files= No and sent a note to the owners explaining that if they needed to distribute files I'd change it back. I haven't heard from any that they wanted to do that. I got real lazy about setting the Files= header option on our lists. Many lists had Files= Yes when there was no need to have that. In fact, with the widespread use of gateways, etc. it seems most lists could get along with Files= No which should have prevented the spread of this particular module. I plan to set all new lists here to use Files= No unless they are for file distribution. I'd encourage you consider the Files setting on your lists too so you won't have to suffer the "infamy" of having a list which is a large initial vector for a virus. It's no fun. ;-( Marty
