There are several mail-to-news gateways that post the contents of the
FreeBSD lists to newsgroups.  This Windows-virus-of-the-week collects
email addresses from newsgroups.

So it's not necessarily true that any list member has the virus.
Certainly anyone running an MUA on FreeBSD doesn't have it, or need to
worry about getting it.
