[LIS-Forum] flooding of lis-forum mailbox

[Mailing List Admin]

Dear Member:

Of late, there has been a considerable increase in the number of of spam 
and virus infected mails received by LIS-Forum postings' id 
(lis-forum at ncsi.iisc.ernet.in). We do have spam and virus filters installed 
on our mail server but as to be expected, they are not foolproof. During 
the last weekend, over 100 virus infected mails (but striped of virus by 
the virus filer) had reached the lis-forum mailbox. Most of these mails 
were from 3 / 4 mail ids. I'm not sure if the desktops from which the virus 
infected mails are reaching lis-forum are infected or something else is 
causing this problem. For the time being, I have deleted those email ids 
from which virus infected mails are originating from the lis-forum 
subscription list. These deleted Ids would have got an intimation to that 
effect. They can re-subscribe anytime after ensuring that their desktops 
are not infected with virus.

This morning (23 April) two such postings were accidentally broadcasted by 
the moderator. These two messages DO NOT contain virus but they should not 
have been broadcasted. Very Sorry about it and the inconvenience caused is 
regretted.

Thanks for your cooperation.
