Based upon my small experience, it seems that client-side scanning (and
responsibility) is thee most preferred method. Penn State operates both
centralized and departmental Mailing List Managers as well as mail
servers, along with folks who have non-PSU server accesses. If PSU
"just" had/depended upon scanning on our MLM machine(s), we would have
lots of problems.
