Hi Oko,
This was what I mentioned to you in the private mail last week. Itīs a
virus or someone spoofing addresses and attempting to send attachments to
the L. There had been a similar mail from my own address sometime ago and
from a few subscribers. The solution to the problem would be to change
the list configuration so that a member would receive a confirmation
message that he or she has to reply with "OK" before the mail is
distributed on the L. This will prevent unwanted mails being sent to the L
because the author would approve that the mail actually comes from his/her
address.

I have changed your subscription to "REVIEW" as mentioned to you
and all mails coming from your address will have to be approved before
being distributed so that it doesnīt occur again. My account is currently
configured like that too.

Regards,
Momodou Camara
