Judging from the logs, the message was held for moderation (since it 
does _not_ come from a subscribed address). Someone presumably let it 
through thinking it was a genuine message from Anthere.

(Note that the real Anthere uses a Mac and is unlikely to be sending 
Windows viruses around, particularly not with a different address and 
through an ISP in the United Kingdom.)

I'll see about installing a virus scrubber. Sigh... I've removed the 
attachment from the list archives, but what's mailed out is mailed out.
