Default Mailing Lists vs. Forums

Al - If one of the Members gets an eMail Virus
or is SPAM-Jacked then everyone on the List
will receive the Virus or in-turn be SPAM-Jacked.

The Mailman program is not vulnerable to such attacks as you describe. If
there is an attachment, and you do not know the person who sent it, do not
open it. Other than that, a Mailman list is safe.

You can configure a list to block attachments.
