Re: getting viruses/spam after posting to this list
Hi Eliot,
after posting the first time with a newly created email the day after I
received ~100 virus emails. I saw a least three different virus types.
Since I don't want to download all these mails (got a slow connection) I
installed a filter at GMX (my email provider) which says 'Delete everything
with 'multipart/mixed' or 'multipart/alternative' in the mail header. This is
fine for me since I only want to receive Debian mailinglists on this account.
Grtz, Tim
