Hi, Yesterday we tried having the mailing list software (Mailman 2.1.2) reject mail with application/octet-stream attachments. The Mailman user interface is a bit vague; it turned out that the virus mails still get to the mailing lists, with attachments stripped. This is perhaps a worse situation: virus mails are smaller now, but cannot easily be detected and filtered anymore.
As a more draconian measure we have decided to restrict email to simple text/plain (or text/html). Emails that have mutipart/mixed are rejected until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience.
