Or, depending on the MTA that is running on your Listserv box you may be able to have that check and drop messages based on certain criteria. That way, at least, the messages never make it to Listserv. The IronPorts that we use to handle inbound mail are currently dropping viruses but only flagging the spam that comes through. Using Postfix as an MTA, I just have a rule in the header checks that sends anything that got flagged as spam to the bit bucket. 

Any link in the chain can handle dropping mail. :-)
