OT Virus

[Keith Roberts]

Interesting, the virus used my servers address. My server screens for
viruses so the message I got had an attachment stating that the postmaster
had removed various parts of the message. My Norton program doesn't get to
do anything. If my server can do it, you should ask that of your server. It
would go a long way to reducing the viral transmission.
