RE: The latest round of antivirus bouncebacks
Adam, I think you may be overreacting a bit and shutting the door to an
opensource user list while running opensource servers is a bad idea.
I've got 5 debian boxes here but read this list-mail from a windows
laptop for lots of reasons e.g. easier to manage a ms lan with a res
kit; need to test/debug applications for naive users and it's a lot
easier figuring out problems with windows for users when you have to fix
them on your own machine first;)
I assume the list would tolerate the annoying messages for a while so
long as you try to find a solution. If you can't think of one then how
about... asking the list!
short answer-->there's no need to get upset. there is a problem.
you're gonna need to implement a solution. try a few. if it doesn't
workout; ask for help.
Regards, Justin

I agree, I'm sorry, the France Telecom one was my fault.
I work for a company that uses France Telecom for internet access and
pays
for them to check for viruses.
It wasn't my choice and I have no say in the matter - if the means that
I am
not welcome on this list then I will (reluctantly) unsubscribe.
I have installed 2 debian woody servers in the company I work for but
the
company policy is still to use Novell Border Manager as a firewall,
Novell
Groupwise for mail and CAI Inoculan for antivirus (after France
Telecom).
Personally I don't think a few annoying messages about viruses are a
reason
to exclude people like myself.
I'll let the list decide and abide by the majority decision.
Adam

Some people read the list from places other than their home where they
don't have control over what OS they use. Remember this is a high
traffic list that isn't friendly to dial-up users and for those people
it would be easier to read it on a company provided connection at work.
