Rob,
Fact? Given the problems with servers spreading viruses, how can you or Doug be so sure? Particularly as neither of you have even looked into the matter? Seems like a lot of hubris to me.
As to your own viruses, that you say you receive daily, clearly they are coming from a server somewhere on the Internet not your own home server, with the odds looking strongly like it will be a MS server.
Finally, as mentioned to someone else here the other day, I switch between OSX and WinXP, and have experienced the disappearing PDML message trick on both - so clearly it is something outside my systems.

Fact: The list strips attachments (Doug has confirmed this)
Fact: no one received a virus from the list, it just looked like it came from
the list (spoofed address).
I receive viruses from my own addresses every day and I don't run any MS
internet mail clients or servers. And I don't believe that I've missed a
message from the list excepting when my email box has been saturated.
I don't have a clue why you are missing so many emails but I doubt it's to do
with the list server. Maybe it's your Apple Mail client rejecting MS initiated
posts :-)
PS That last bit was a joke.
