The spam message from Hahaha contains the w32.hybris.gen virus in the
attachment. What a surprise.

I don't know whether this is the result of an attack on a subscriber's
address book or whether the SL4 mailing list has gotten into the spam
email databases. At present, I'm waiting to see if this problem is
repeated before checking out Majordomo for possible prevention methods.
