The mailing list has been getting bombarded by viri lately, meaning
someone on the list has the virus and has been sending them out. The
virus name is *W32/Sobig@MM
*
Please, even if you don't think you have the virus, please read though
the following links and check the indication of infection. You might be
suprised. The virus is brand new, and has only been around for a couple
of week, so if your virus software is even slightly out of date, you
might have it.
