Thanks for the info, Joe. Looks like more people need to invest in a good
virus scanner and keep it regularly updated. Each time a virus (or, in
this case, worm)-infected attachment hits my machine, Norton AntiVirus
screams loudly and won't let me continue with any activities until I make a
determination about the file. Given how much stuff I receive as a
genealogy site manager, I can't imagine computing without it. To me,
computing without a GOOD virus scanner is like having unprotected sex in
the '90's or playing Russian roulette....

Thanks. On closer inspection, I see that the patch isn't working on
all of the lists. In fact, very few of them are going to block them
from the -REQUEST address (though the regular lists should be
correctly blocked).
This fix is going to be harder than I thought. I'll try to correct
it, but for the time being it looks like listowners are going to
continue getting the Happy99 viruses from the -REQUEST addresses.
Sorry, folks...
