I have also received the Klez virus several times recently. However, I
believe that they are sent from some individual (and not through DCML).

That way some non-infected messages might be wrongly sorted out.

I remember that a virus was sent through DCML several years ago. At that
time I think Per added a feature so that it wasn't possible to send "large"
messages to DCML. I don't know how large a "large" message is, but the Klez
virus is around 120-130 kB, and would probably be too large for DCML.

So even if the address the mail was sent from were a member of DCML, the
message wouldn't arrive to the list.
