[NMLUG] Re: "Mail Delivery System"
That depends on what you mean by "on" the maling list. I did not
receive any such message, nor did my mail server - which is where such a
virus would be stopped, so I assumed you had received a message with
test.zip attached (which is not, in fact a ZIP, it's just one of the
filenames that MyDoom chooses to use) that _looked_ like it came from
the list.
