We're happy with spam and virus defenses in the MTA which receives from the
world and does the spam and virus work before handing off the messages to
the MTA on the Mailman machine.  The  Mailman machine can't be reached on
port 25 (or 587 or 465) from the world.

If anything is shipped with Mailman (beyond tuneups to what is there now,
which we mostly don't have to use), we'd likely want it able to be turned
off.
