Sounds like some list members have broken autoresponders (or their sites
have broken autoresponders).  (The fact that they are virus-detecting
autoresponders is not really relevant.)  The usual answer to "What can I
do about broken autoresponders" is "Not much".  Well, you can disable
the subscription of users with broken autoresponders.  For politeness,
you should probably send them a note that you are doing so, cc'd to the
postmaster of their domain.

Hmmm, I think I'll add a FAQ entry for this...
