Is that true? You are in a fortunate position of your address not being in
many Outlook address books :-)

Well, if someone breaks the rules by posting one of those things then you'd
generally have a quiet word with them, and if they persist, remove them from
the list.

I have no objection to there being anti-virus filters on the list (filters
for inflammatory mails would be more difficult :-), but what I don't agree
with is the assertion that the list *should* have such filters, since the
benefit is slight and you might be asking for a lot of work or expense.

Brian.
