As you may recall, most modern viruses rewrite their "from" lines, and
add their package to email found on the infected machine.   So while
the virus claims to be from the list, it is not.  At least, I've not
received any virus-laden emails from fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx; after
the virus sees this message, I might :-( . 

What this probably means is that someone (perhaps someone you know)
is receiving this list on an infected windoze machine.  Would all
you windoze users please check?  Consider this another reason to
run Service Pack Fedora.
