Fwd: RE: Your e-mail
Here's the last message I received regarding the broken anti-virus system on
the tube.ftl.gov.uk mail server.
They seem to have configured their server to block email from me, so I'm
sending their message to the list to allow other people to reply and try to
educate them.

Obviously, if you were computer literate you would be able to understand
that my company intercepted a virus and notified the sender the reason why
the mail was not delivered. Suggest you be wary of
debian-laptop@lists.debian.org
