As others have pointed out, it's extremely unlikely that you'd have received
an infected message from the list, since the autox server transmits only
text and strips out all attachments. There was a recent message received by
some members of the 6pack and Triumphs lists that appeared to "simulate" the
return address of the list (owner-triumphs), but with a suffix of @lmco.com,
rather than @autox.team.net.

Always good advice.
