[gse-aa] Auroral Alert

[Charles Deehr]

I am sorry to bother you with the announcement that the auroral alert
has been under attack by someone trying to infiltrate the system.  I
received the following message from our system administrator:
Chuck,
    The 'gse-aa' list is apparently getting hit with attempts to
propogate an email virus. Thus far the attempts have been rendered
harmless by the MIMEDefang software that we run on our mail gateway. The
filter has 
stripped the message of an attachment (in one case "Info.pif").
    I will attempt to discover how the list is being accessed and how it
can be stopped. In the meantime please advise the 'gse-aa' recipients
that it is a problem that we're trying to fix. Sorry for the trouble,
and thanks for your patience.
 - Dave
