That's just the first level of protection. It IS possible, however,
that a virus might randomly select another list member's address when it
forges the "From" field and get past the restricted posting (although I
have yet to see this happen). If this does happen, be sure to have the
maximum message size set as low as you feel comfortable with, lower than
the size of any virus. If someone invents a virus in the future which is
very small in size and can also get past that, install DeMime. DeMime will
strip any virus that gets that far.
