You can also employ your own, external scanner, or whatever flavor program you want. Most of these viruses/attachments come in as MIME encoded, so you can always use stripmime[1], or demime[2] to get that stuff off of the message prior to submitting it to the list. You can go one step further, and look into MIMEDefang[3], which does a pletora of things for you. There's also Quarantine[4], which will strip out any type of attachments to your message. All of these solutions are external to Mailman (in fact MIMEDefang hooks into sendmail - if you're running it), so you can always end up with "clean" messages going through your list.
