 Hello David :-)

Unfortunately, if one browses the main infradead archive for this month: 

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2015-June/date.html

one can count seven (7) spam e-mails with zip attachments :-( 
The subject line of those has obviously no relation whatsoever 
to GiP, so I was never tempted to open them, still, as you say, 
they bypassed your filter...
On the other hand, the back-up archive provided by mailman: 

http://www.mail-archive.com/get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org/maillist.html 

appears to have blocked them successfully...
I am not complaining about anything, just pointing the 
difference between the two GiP archives...
I never felt the need to post a zip attachment to the list 
over the last four years, if you deem banning such 
attachments will be a cure for those spam e-mails, 
then I'm all for it...
Finally, what type of attachments, except for .txt, 
are actually allowed in this list? I think this is not 
documented in the list netiquette...

Very much indebted for this invaluable service 
you continue to provide!

Kind regards, 
Vangelis.
