OK, so I see two solutions to this:
(1) start filtering - which I don't like since it will still download
them and at 125kB a time, that's a waste of bandwidth, and I don't
really want to get involved with one of those pop3-cleaner-filters.
(2) somehow find a way of disguising my email address on the newsgroup
without stopping the listserver from mailing me the traffic.
Any suggestions as to how to do 2 would be great.
Also I'd appreciate confirmation from a couple more people that they are
getting this virus traffic due to the newsgroup.
Thanks
Adam
