IMO, the time for talking about this problem is over. We should move the list to a new home that has better anti-spam defences and a list manager or postmaster who will take their responsibilities seriously. Can I suggest that Roger starts address@hidden and tells us how to subscribe? We can then migrate to that and unsubscribe ourselves from the flawed ffii.org's list.
Please do take note that the influx of virii from this list has reduced significantly in the last weeks---and yes, most is taken care of by my ISP's anti virus scanner. As a matter of fact, even during the heights of the Netsky flood in mid-February this year I received, and still receive, more virii from lists managed with qmail and ezmlm (the lazy alternative to mailing list administration).
I concur that the worm was seeded by some one subscribed to the list. Most of the attacks are address@hidden which is old and fairly unsophisticated. In other lists the attacks lately have a address@hidden or address@hidden payload which present themselves as messages from the mailing list administrators, that is the worms target mailing lists explicitly.
