All -

You may have seen copies of the "my party" virus BOUNCE to
your lists - please be aware that the virus may actually reach
your list membership if:

1] You've modified your max_length value to be greater than
   40000 char to allow attachemnts
2] The virus may harvest addresses from an infected list
   members computer, in which case mail may be sent to:

   listname-outgoing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

   these messages will reach your lists members (bypassing majordomo
   screening variables)

I would suggest that you send a warning to your list telling members
NOT to open any message with the following:

Subject: new photos from my party!

subject line.
