[ale] Last autoresponse notification for today

[Jim Kinney]

Hmmm. The virus checker should happen before the mailman gets the email. So
unless there is a a two layer spoof happening that is quite odd. I'll look
into it. Thanks for the notice and the details.

All messages that go the "moderator" queue get deleted. since they are spam
(and in French ??) and the volume is high (100+ per day) they just get
deleted.
