Note -if- the List is in your Address Book :
Then the List will receive the SPAM-Jacked Message.

However, as it has been pointed out most Lists are
Set-Up so that Attachments are Removed before
the Message is Re-Sent to the Members.

On-Line Address Books maintained by your ISP
do offer another level of protection from having
your Address Book Hi-Jacked over a PC Based
Address Book.

Most ISP's now offer Incoming eMail Virus Screening.

Plus most ISP's offer Message "SPAM" Filtering
and other SPAM Screening {Feed-Back} Features.

BUT - SPAM STILL HAPPENS ! [NSS]

Obviously you folks are not familiar with the Mailman program. I have two
lists with 200+ on each, and one with well over 2,000. Nothing of what some
of you say happens, actually does. The lists are safe.
