Mailman 2.1.6 has a nice feature for those who can't strip attachments; 
the new spam filter 'header_filter_rules' checks attachments' headers 
recursively. So, messages which have executable attatchments can be 
held, rejected, or discarded by your configuration. Regex patten like:

	content-.*name.*\.(exe|com|cmd|bat|pif|vbs|scr|zip)

can match most of the current virus messages.
Mailman 2.1.6 beta 2 can be downloaded from
