I'd just like to point out that you can't blame Qmail-Scanner for that.
Qmail-Scanner *NEVER* sends "your message was infected" messages to
mailing-lists. It explicitly looks for signs that the message is from a list
(-owner|-return|Precedence: junk, etc) and if found only Email's the
Qmail-Scanner administrator.
Others (esp. commercial) bore us silly with their alerts...
