Maybe also X-Mailer: microsoft* and windows* ?  Note that all virus
notifications that received here was sent incorrectly, and by some
sort of windows-based crapo^Wsoftware.  I too have a virusscanner
for our local office, but this software does not mailbombs list-owners
and list-recipients.

Well, yes, if problem persists, some sort of attachment filter (*.exe
etc) will be helpful.
