Your best bet, in my humble opinion, is to take a look at the Listserv
1.8e release notes. You can find the release notes and the regular
documentation for Listserv 1.8e on L-Soft's web site.

Exactly, only Linux and Windows have the anti-virus capability now, for
those servers that are current on their L-Soft maintenance and that have
installed the special Listserv version of F-Secure Anti-Virus software.
Information about this feature is in the documentation.
