Sorry about not replying, I've been working on various blocks to stop
this worm, and haven't had time to reply to mails that folks have sent. 
I've just been watching the mc-devel list, and it's a lot worse than I
thought.  You can leave things alone, and I'll keep clearing them out. 
If a backlog builds up, I've got some tools on the server that can
mass-delete these.  

I think I've got some rules set up in our mailserver which will stop
these viruses from even getting as far as mailman.  I'll be keeping an
eye on things, trying to make sure we catch everything. Thanks for your
patience,
	Greg
