[Fwd: [Fwd: [osol-mktg] Virus and spam]]

[Bret Madhvani]

Karyn,

Jive Forums can be configured to scan messages for viruses - it uses an 
external tool to perform the scans. Mailman doesn't have any specific 
virus-scanning features; it assumes that this is being handled at the 
MTA level, before the message gets to Mailman.

I don't know how the production machines are configured, so I can't say 
if virus scanning is being performed now. I believe only Derek and Allen 
can answer that question.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Bret
