Running a virus scanner is overkill, especially on a list that is unix/linux
orientated. Of course, many people on this list probably use Windows as
their desktop, and are thus vulnerable to mail virii.
Just make the list closed one, so that only members can post, then problem
should go away. I am not sure if this is the best approach, but I receive
quite a few mailing lists, and this list (freeswan-users) is the only one
where I have problem with virus notifications.
I would not like to implement header checks on my postfix server to reject
virus scanner messages, but unless it stops, I will.
