IMHO, the openness of the Ethereal mailing lists has been a very good
thing: It is used for support (ideally ethereal-users, but ethereal-dev
too), and it makes it easier for "outsiders" to submit patches or ask
question that may lead to patches.
Maybe some tuning of the current mailscanner to actually detect the Klez
virus would be sufficient. That way, most spam/virii is marked and you
can drop it via your procmailrc (or whatever you are using instead).

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
