If you have checked the archives this list has allways (as long as it has been list.linux-vserver.org) had spamassassin with bayesian filters, antivirus (updated 4 times a day) and different other measures. spamassassin however is not as aggressive set up as you might on your personal server, since the server is hosting more than just linux-vserver stuff. Thus all viruses and most spam has been caught, until the spam got more agressive over the last 6 months. Until yesterday, where i introduced a more smart whitelisting feature, 90% of the spam that would have hit the list never did, because of spamassassin.
