si-list:

Regarding the recent virus laden messages being distributed to some
si-list subscribers, be aware that if a "si-list" message arrives
with an attachment it IS NOT from si-list. All attachments are automatically
deleted from valid si-list messages.

Looking at the headers in a couple of messages that arrived this
morning masquerading as si-list traffic we find that they are coming
from these two systems:

        pclab107.eupvg.upc.es   
        (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya) 
        
        isdn.telecom.ece.ntua.gr
        (National Technical University, Athens)
        
The messages arrive with "From:" addresses of valid si-list
subscribers, but are actually coming from one of the above
listed addresses.

Beware of these messages and do not open the attachments if you are on
a windows based system.
