Before, not all attachements were removed - for example, in the security
list, none: and the viruses got broadcast. Now, emails are scanned
for viruses and removed. This solution has been implemented for all lists the
same, as far as I know.

Beacause this list has had the policy of removing attaches, but not every
suse list had. Now, they simply have implemented the same new scanner for
all suse lists - and I think that happens before it gets to the list
server itself.
It was quite "interesting" to see virus mails been sent by the list server
to the security list - complete, with the load intact.
Also, on this list, I have received ezmlm responses asking if I wanted to
unsusbscribe - for example - together with a virus atachement. That was
certainly not nice to receive from a company like suse...
This solution is new, so people noticing problems should report them to
the list-owner, IMO.
