Debian/Linux users re: viruses



I'm wondering just what kind of filtering Debian, and vger.kernel.org use
to block out viruses.

I'm watching about 2 viruses a minute come in on some of the freebsd lists
that I watch, and got to thinking about the last time I had one come in
here.  Been awhile, I think.

I went away on the weekend to visit my fiancee, so I gave my pager to my
brother to watch.  I have procmail setup to forward to my pager if it's
an Inflex mail warning.

A few hours later, I'm checking my mail, and there's a note from him that
there's a mail loop happening on the system, and he can't find out why
it's happening.

A little checking, and there's a stream of virus warnings coming in on
inflex.  All from the freebsd lists.  60 in the last 5 days.

Wasn't a mail loop, he just got so many pages he stopped looking at the
time stamps on it.


Just bored. :D

Mike
