Many prefer mailing lists as opposed to online forums. I have seen
"groups"
mentioned here several times but nothing about a mailing list. If you'd
like
to try a mailing list, you can do so at the following
link.http://dialtrax.com/mailman/listinfo/shortwave_128034
It works like this: You send an email message to the specified address.
That
message is then distributed to all list members. When you reply, the same
thing happens. There is no SPAM problem because only members can post
messages. Enjoy!

There is only one way a virus can make it through Mailman. Then you have to
open an attachment. As I've said, attachments can be disallowed with a bit
of configuring. Also your real time virus protection would kick in and save
the day. What is a person doesn't have protection? Then they shouldn't be
out here (Internet).

Thats exactly why most of those viruses uses the email address book so
it looks like an email from a friend.

Even when it appears to come from a friend you should have a healthy
look before opening it.

Worms do that. There's an easy way to prevent that. Make an address book
entry beginning with "!" as the name. Use something like
for the email address. That address is not valid as far as I know. Now make
another address book entry, this time the name begins with "Z". Now if you
get a worm mailer, it will surely start at the beginning or the end of your
address book. When it tries to send to either of these two addresses at the
top or bottom, of the list, you should get a message pop from Outlook
Express or Outlook. I don't know about other mailers but something similar
should happen.

Not really as those worms come with their own mail server, they don't
use Outlook (Express) to actually send the email. They dont even use the
ISPs mail servers to avoid detection.
