My list just had a virus come through on a member's Active-X attachment.
I can't find an option in the Mailman administrative interface that will forbid, or disable attachments.
Is there any way to do this? I've found our list works best when messages are restricted to plain text, no attachments.
Thanks for any help anyone can give. Please also contact me directly at dbrauer@uswest.net

There isn't such an option in Mailman itself, but most sites who wish to do so use the demime <http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html> filter.

You could add the term "Content-Disposition:.*attachment" to the "Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp." section of the Privacy set-up page.
This would at least hold those documents with attachments for your approval or destruction.

Or the stripmime filter (http://www.phred.org/~alex/stripmime.pl). Much different underlying implementations with the same goal.
