Hi Daniel,

We are running this on Postfix/Listart ... and yes there are virus
scanners (Amavis/McAffee) the problem is that we are a unix shop
and do not realy care much about viruses except for their spam
value, so implementing an av solution is not very high priority ...
I expect that we will get round todo it sometime later this year
...

In any event, because listar stips all attachements from emails it
sends out, (except inline uuencoded stuff like myparty) viruses to
not generally get sent out, just emails with hyperlinks to the
viruses stored in our pantomime tree. Some stupid AV solutions
react to the name of the attachment (which is still present in the
email) which is not realy a big deal ...

cheers
tobi
