You might want to refer folks who want to run test "virus" messages through their Mailman system ("system" = the MTA and its filtering and Mailman and whatever else is involved at a given site) to http://www.eicar.org (note...eicar.com is very different).
They are??? www.eicar.org and www.eicar.com look identical (and have the same IP address).
By including the reference, you avoid having anything in the distribution which triggers (sensible) virus scanners.
