[Opensim-users] [OT] recent spam in this group

[Han Held]

Hello

I apologize for the off-topic, but I am a member of several email other 
lists dealing with technical subjects and this is the only group I am 
seeing the attachment weirdness show up on. I'm referring to the 
offtopic emails with jpgs attached to them that have been showing up on 
this list recently.

Firstly, is it possible to scrub attachments before they're relayed? Can 
someone please set that up? I'm using Thunderbird on Linux so I assume 
(and it's only an assumption) that any malware would be limited to $HOME 
(I'm not an expert, and could easily be wrong) but there are people on 
windows etc also getting these messages.

I have to assume that the other lists I'm on get the same spammers, and 
since I don't see the messages on them that probably means there's a way 
to deal with it.

For the sake of being responsible and not spreading malware, I'd like to 
request that if the admins are still extant they look into filtering out 
binary attachments. There are alternatives (pastebin, dropbox, imgur) 
that can be used to fit any tech support needs.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and again I apologize for the OT


Regards,
