"we use virus scanners to solve this..." So do we. We had a virus scanner before mailman that took out the virus and only left a warning message. But it still went through to the list. Thousands got this 'virus' message from the list. Dozens thought it was a virus, which it wasn't be, and e-mailed

You are missing the pipe in front of the aliases. Example: fp: "| /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post fp" The pipe tells the mail server to launch the program (/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman, and to feed the message into the program as data. You'll need to edit all the aliases and add a
