Mail Admin: SAMBA-VMS list is being flooded.

Sorry for the off topic intrusion to this list.

The samba-vms mailing list is being flooded with virus notifications 
from administrator at vt.edu.

Apparently the virus is now spoofing the samba-vms e-mail address, and 
the misconfigured virus scanner at vt.edu is posting a notification for 
each one received.

They are coming in one every few minutes.  I have e-mailed the vt.edu 
contact addresses, but there does not seem to be anyone home there all 
day since this started, and the frequency of the postings seems to be 
increasing.

Can someone put a block on the administrator at vt.edu from making more 
postings?  At least until this stupid worm dies down.

Thanks,
-John
