I've been on the php-install list for a year or so and the problem has 
gradually got worse. The best theory I've got from the list owner is 
that it is someone with a MS Windows box with a virus.

Changing over from my dial-up to broadband ISP, I unsubscribed from 
php-install by email this morning and got the confirmation, 
resubscribing under the new address. Is the person with the problem 
using the unsubscribe address given in the original subscription 
confirmation?
