Maybe you should install a virus scanning feature to your mailer?
I use mimedefang which has a hook to many different virus scanning products. I use f-prot.
My platform:
Fedora Core 2 Sendmail 8.13.1 mimedefang 2.48 f-prot linux ws 4.4.2
this configuration discards infected email messages.

Guys,
I just had a small problem. A virus was just sent to all the list members which had spoofed the moderator's email address. No "requires approval" message was sent, despite the fact that everyone (even the moderator) has the "mod" bit set to "on".
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Are there any known and open bugs in 2.1.5 that would allow this behavior?
Is there any way of telling in the headers (or archives, or logs?) how a message was approved?
Here's the headers:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from prime.gushi.org (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by prime.gushi.org (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id j0S2GH5b080701 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 27 Jan 2005 22:50:56 -0500 (EST) Received: from ROBERTA.net (pcp08579508pcs.alxndr01.va.comcast.net [68.83.208.54]) by prime.gushi.org (8.13.1/8.13.1) with SMTP id j0S2FV8o080233 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 27 Jan 2005 21:15:35 -0500 (EST) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 21:05:09 -0500
Any ideas?
