If so, perhaps we should remove from the list.

What you have to realize is that the "original author" didn't send
the mail. The current round of viruses fake the sender, just like
most spam fakes the sender.
The most problem is that damned mail are archived and its possible that someone will get infected after searching mail list. I see such a trouble in our private net - infected miwdoms boxes send mail to users, users get messages in days/weeks/months after and so on.

Is it possible to set a filter on mail.gnome.org ? There're ~30 related links on:
http://www.postfix.org/addon.html

It also would be usefull to filter out infected mail from archives.
