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.
