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.

AL - And what do you do if a Member's eMail

Nothing. His or her hypothetical problem does not affect the list and its
members.

I've been running Mailman lists for years primarily for an organization. Not
one person has been adversely effected by mail relayed through a mailing
list. Besides, each of us should have defenses in the form of anti-virus
software with real time protection for incoming messages.

I work with a John Dalton formerly on Chicago, IL. USMC retired.
Reading your e-mail reminds me of him.
