How does your firewall help with prevention of malicious html? Can it 
magically detect the difference between malicious/non-malicious html? OK your 
spam filter might be able to make a good attempt at it - but not everybody has 
one (or a well-configured one).

For example a well placed web bug in an email to the list which then gets read 
by the subscribers in an email client that does not prevent automatic access 
to external references could be used to get information about list subscribers 
(ip addresses, time and times of reading etc.) This partially bypasses the 
list security.

Cheers,

Sean
