Mailing Lists vs. Forums
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! Best regards, Al |

The Mailman program is not vulnerable to such attacks as you describe. If there is an attachment, and you do not know the person who sent it, do not open it. Other than that, a Mailman list is safe. You can configure a list to block attachments. Al |

His or her hypothetical problem does not affect the list and its members. I've been running Mailman lists for years primarily for an organization. Not one person has been adversely effected by mail relayed through a mailing list. Besides, each of us should have defenses in the form of anti-virus software with real time protection for incoming messages. Al |

Firewall Radioman Firewall. Burr 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). Al |
