Hi all,
It seems that a few info-performer subscribers are getting hit by a
v-i-r-u-s going around. When they get infected, the v-i-r-u-s re-sends
itself to the valid addresses in their Inbox (including
info-performer) which in turn, triggers a bunch of V-i-r-u-s filters out
there to tell us all they caught it.
info-performer has some pretty darned sticky filters in place already
to catch spam & other undesirable messages and put them aside for
moderator evaluation (the amount of porn coming in now is truly
unbelievable, you could start a few pay-per-view websites with the
volume of stuff) -- and now has a few more to catch this particular
v-i-r-u-s and (hopefully) all the v-i-r-u-s warning alerts.
We're at I/ITSEC, so for the moment that's as clever as it'll get
until we're back. In the meantime, please grin & bear it..
Allan
ps. Guess what word has been added to the "bad keywords" filter.
Starts with a V..
