A6) What is VALERT-L?

VALERT-L is a sister group to VIRUS-L, but is intended for virus
alerts and warnings only -- NO DISCUSSIONS.  There is no direct USENET
counterpart to VALERT-L; it is a mailing list only.  All VALERT-L
postings are re-distributed to VIRUS-L/comp.virus later.  This group
is also moderated, but on a much higher priority than VIRUS-L.  The
group is monitored during business hours (East Coast, U.S.A.,
GMT-5/GMT-4); high priority off-hour postings can be made by
submitting to the group and then telephoning the CERT/CC hotline at +1
412 268 7090 -- instruct the person answering the hotline to call or
page Ken van Wyk.

Subscriptions to VALERT-L are handled identically to VIRUS-L --
