[ale] All the virus that people on the ale list are sending me

[Luis Luna]

Okay,
What is going on here? I am on the ale list, lurking mostly, and on a
Sunbelt Software list for Windows NT/2000 Admins, I have never had a virus
come from the Sunbelt Software List (mostly NT'ers) but I keep getting
warnings from my email server about people from the ale list trying to send
me viri!
Here is one someone tried to send me today:

Jeez! I thought linux users were a little more careful, and don't give me
that line about Windows...blah blah..blah... A almost any system can be made
secure and bulletproof  and experienced computer users like the people on
this list should really be practicing safe computing.
