Virus mails suggestion

["Markus Meyer" <meyer-at-mesw.de>]

Hi,

since there has been a lot of spam caused by viri recently, I suggest the
following:
May we be able to avoid this type of messages by causing all messages
containing files with the extensions .exe, .bat, .vbs, .com to be discarded,
returning a message to the sender like "Your mail has been discarded by the
mailing list software, because it contains an unsafe attachment. If you
don't know what we are talking about, this may be due to a virus on your
system. If you have sent the message intentionally, please use the dropbox
on http://www.linuxcnc.org/ or try to use another file format."

Best regards


Markus
