Will,

Is there someone on your team that can help with this on mailman side? 
Allen says he isn't an expert...

Thanks,

I just got 7 infected emails from that list, and coming from a Sun

Can you please, at the very least, disable file attachments?
And allowing posting only from subscribed addresses wouldn't hurt, either.
