Hello -

I downloaded the Mailman 2.1.2 tarball yesterday, and ran into an issue
with a virus scan.  McAfee commandline virus scan found
Exploit-MIME.gen, a generic MIME format "virus" that exploits the
"Microsoft Incorrect MIME Header vulnerability".  I downloaded the
source tarball yesterday, and the virus scanner hit on it after a
crontab job ran uvscan.  Below is the output when I scanned the suspect
file.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] msgs]# uvscan
/usr/local/src/mailman-2.1.2/tests/msgs/nimda.txt

/usr/local/src/mailman-2.1.2/tests/msgs/nimda.txt
        Found the Exploit-MIME.gen virus !!!


Is this an issue?  Is this the right forum for this question?  

I would like to install mailman as our company's mailing list manager,
but would like to understand this better.

Thanks,
