Speaking for myself, I simply bounce any mail with attachments on principle.
Any Microsoft Office file can have embedded viruses (Excel, Word), so
they're off limits from the start, as are *.exe and *.com files, but why
allow anything through other than text unless you are trading binaries.

Write if you need the taboo_headers sections for my lists.

Can anyone recommend a good virus protection product for use with MJ lists
under Linux (2.0.36 kernel)? A number of my subscribers have taken to
attaching ms word docs to mailing lists ... and some of them are turning up
with viruses. I'd like to protect the rest of my subscribers from the
mistakes of others.
