    Aim your test messages at alt.test, please.


    I agree that basic Usenet connectivity messages should go to alt.test. It's not clear from the original post, but if the poster's aim was to see if
    posts to comp.lang.python traverse the gateway and show up on this list,
    then alt.test won't help.

    Coincidentally (I hope), today have received a couple of poorly-executed spam/phishing messages purporting to be from this list or "Tutor".

    True, but did the poster really need to send another one to say "yes,
    that worked"?

    "Microsoft Windows Live Mail" did still exist when I installed it several years ago on my latest Windows Operating System.

    If I remember correctly, I had to get the installation program from a third party site. It might have been the Microsoft site. Or it might have been SourceForge.net. You would need to look around the Internet for valid copies of Windows Live Mail if you are interested in the program.

    I’m sure that was a perfectly trustworthy site, no doubt ...

    Comment: My moderately expensive computer virus program can be instructed
    to check the contents of downloaded EXE programs and other types of programs
    or ZIP files. It appears to do a fairly good job with that. But, you are correct. People should be careful regarding what they download.
