First I should qualify what I write with the fact that I'm behind a "lame.site" and it appears our mailer did in fact spam debian-user. Okay, with that said, isn't a bit much, and I'm being kind here, to insist that those of us behind exchange servers are removed from the list? I have no choice in the matter and in such a large org as mine my email to postmaster isn't likely to be paid much attention (and I tried). I'm not a super contributor to the list, but I *have* made contributions (search Google groups (http://groups.google.com) for authored posts with my last name. First post 1996. Number of posts ~500). Additionally I've been using Debian for a *long* time and like to think I can be of assistance to users of this list. And you're asking that I be removed because of 1 virus alert email that got sent to the list from my corporate server? I could understand if things were out of hand, eg., 20 or so messages/day, but for 3 in the last, what, 2, 3 weeks? Shoot, I didn't even notice the virus alerts until I started following this thread, which, incidentally, has a lot more posts than the original bounces from virus scanners that I saw. > Peace. Hmm. Irony? Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
