Well, it depends on the list. If you allow attachments, you may have to moderate/preview all postings to the list. I allow only text on my lists, anything with an attachment is automatically rejected, regardless of whom it comes from. In my list headers: * Sizelim= 200 (that's 200 lines, including header) * Attachments= NO * Language= NOHTML Have problems with viruses/worms other ways, but they never get distributed to the subscribers to my lists *via* my lists; they don't get past those header settings.
