We get a few of virus-laden mails each day, destined for this list. I'm terribly |

sorry one got through. |

In my zeal to filter out more of the spam we get, I inadvertently started |
| 13 |
masking out all messages of mime-type text/plain ;) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
To reiterate the current filters: |
| 16 |
- All messages with attachments are ignored (except PGP keys) |
| 17 |
- All HTML-only or text+HTML messages are ignored |
| 18 |
- Certain mail addresses are disallowed |
| 19 |
- Virus warnings from various Exchange plugins are ignored |
| 20 |
- Bcc: to this list is disallowed |
| 21 |
- If the Cc: list is too long, the message is ignored |
| 22 |
- Messages using various non-european language codes (chinese, korean, |
| 23 |
turkish) are ignored (this list is English-only, sorry). |
| 24 |
- The message body cannot be larger than 40kB. |
