WARNING!!! (from chopin.merit.edu)

The following message attachments were flagged by the antivirus scanner:

Attachment [2.2] Video_part.mim, virus infected: W32/Parite-B. Action taken: deleted VIRUS WARNING Message (from chopin.merit.edu)

The virus W32/Parite-B was detected in email attachment [2.2] Video_part.mim. The infected attachment has been deleted.

Impressive. I didn't know the new server had a virus scanner on it. Perhaps we should just delete these instead of forwarding them to the list? I'm also impressed that Sean moved to India: Received: from ibm-ii (121.247.233-225.kol-bb-dynamic.vsnl.net.in [121.247.233.225] (may be forged)) by chopin.merit.edu (MOS 3.8.2-GA) with SMTP id AQD07945; Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:08:32 -0400 (EDT) :) -- TTFN, patrick _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog

I was wondering what was going on myself.

Yes, there was an email prior regarding list transition from Majordomo to mailman.

If you missed the email, it is here: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg07543.html Sorry about virus notices. Merit needs to change mailman (or MTA) settings to drop virus-infected emails instead of stripping/bouncing/whatever. If you'd like to discuss mailing list operations, you should do it on nanog-futures@nanog.org, not here.

This has happened to me as well. I was a digest subscriber and now I'm getting each message. Did someone tamper with the settings or was there an administrative mistake?

Despite the chatter, I think we should all congratulate Merit on a very smooth and orderly transition to the new server. No, it was not perfect, but given all the possible outcomes, we are definitely in the top quartile. IMHO, of course. -- TTFN, patrick _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
