> Is there a way to prevent attachments from posting to the list?
This isn't going to be a LOT of help, but.....
You can limit the size of messages - which will take out larger attachments.
You could also add rules which will catch phrases like;
"Attached is a "
"I have attached "
"I've attached "
That'll catch a few messages with attachments.

You can also edit the users.lst file
Just open it in a text editor and paste in your new subscribers.
They don't get welcome messages that way, but I have a solution to that.
I send a message to the list introducing them to the rest of the mailing
list, and include the "welcome" instructions along with the introduction.
I can't say for sure, but I think the introduction "sticks" a little better
this way. Maybe because it seems more personal than an auto generated
welcome message (It's not really - same stuff every time) or maybe they pay
more attention because there are more "witnesses".
