Discussing W32 worms and viruses and some other crap on this list
Hello, list admins, please corect me if I'm wrong. Since this list is intended for 'Linux security discussions'[1], I really do not know why MS worms and viruses are discussed here. The same holds for spam you get as a result of posting to this list. Please reduce the traffic to discussions that are related to Linux _and_ security, not _only_ security, crap related to MS products or spam (for that issue I would contact the list admins - they can ban spammers from the list, I cannot). TIA GTi [1] http://www.suse.com/us/private/support/online_help/mailinglists/ P.S.: Please don't cc me, I'm on the list.
It gets discussed because even us 100% linux shops we have to put up with them and it gets frustrating. My 2c worth. -joe On Tuesday 27 January 2004 06:48 am, Martin Peikert wrote:

Those running mail servers or firewall that have MS clients might be interested in new MS worms and viruses. /Sigfred
