I have found a mailman-clamav module that plugs into mailman and should
stop the viruses at mailman before getting to mailscanner (I hope).  I
have set this up but don't have any way to test it.  Can someone send me
a virus?  I don't have an email account anywhere that will allow me to
send or receive a virus :-) If anyone is allowed to send even the eicar
test virus to a list of chs-staff at winonacotter.org please do and just
let me know.

Thanks
