Thanks for the pointer, and I stand corrected - I should have checked
the online archives.  I've just checked our logs again, as I thought
that perhaps I'd missed a rejection.  But that message was definitely
never offered to our servers.  If it had been, then on grounds of size
alone it would have been rejected.  A little odd, and a pity that this
isn't the same thread, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

More importantly as you say, it's rather surprising that an anti-virus
mailing list would send a message like that to *anyone* other than the
list's administrators.

Micah?
