Please do take note that the influx of virii from this list has reduced 
significantly in the last weeks---and yes, most is taken care of by my 
ISP's anti virus scanner. As a matter of fact, even during the heights of 
the Netsky flood in mid-February this year I received, and still receive, 
more virii from lists managed with qmail and ezmlm (the lazy alternative to 
mailing list administration).

I concur that the worm was seeded by some one subscribed to the list. Most 
of the attacks are address@hidden which is old and fairly unsophisticated. 
In other lists the attacks lately have a address@hidden or address@hidden 
payload which present themselves as messages from the mailing list 
administrators, that is the worms target mailing lists explicitly.
