Re: [rtl] Virus and spam emails

[Erwin Rol <Erwin.Rol@q-soft-engineering.com>]

Spam is uninteresting, although irritating. 
The viruses are the real problem, i mean if it continues i can not
risk getting my work computer infected, and will be forced to
unsubscribe from the list. 
But of course thats all my fault , because i use windows (atleast
according one of the replies).

Just strip executables and .vbs and the like, no address filtering
needed,
i mean it can't be that hard to do that on the server side.
