[demime 0.98b removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream
which had a name of Nervous_illnesses.vbs]
Can this user be removed from the mailing list? I'm tired of getting
virii and spam from them, there's enough in my mailbox
as it is.
Why? Simple, because they didn't send it. Someone else did.
Virtually all these virii now forge the from address to another user
in the same address book that they steal the destination address.
Sometimes they just happen to hit a list address with a From: that is
subscribed.
I assume that the attachment (that was removed) was the only thing in
the message? Otherwise, Kyle wouldn't be complaining as there would be
useful content along with the one line saying the attachment had been
removed.
If that's the case (that the ONLY thing sent to cocoa-dev is the
attachment), then why not just dump the message entirely? If the
server is going to remove all content (meaningful or otherwise), why
bother sending it out to the list at all, and clogging the Internet
pipes a little more in the process?
Jim
