[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: FW: possible virus on List

[Andy Carvin]

Hi everyone,

It appears some virus is spoofing my address and sending out a message 
to the list; Bruno Oudet and I were just trying to figure it out. It's 
not actually coming from my computer (I use a Mac, and it's generally 
virus-safe) but is coming from someone else's infected email account 
that had my email address in their contacts list. It then forged my 
address. So there's nothing I can do about it on my computer since it's 
not originating from me; is it possible to increase the security on the 
Mailman server to detect viruses?
