I need to prevent uuencoded files from getting sent out on my list. How do I do this?

That's tough.  Uuencoded files aren't included in nice things 

like MIME encoding, or have obvious headers that you can match on.

They might be caught by things like Anomy (see 

<http://freshmeat.net/projects/theanomymailsanitizer/>) or MIMEDefang (see <http://freshmeat.net/projects/mimedefanger/>), but I can't be sure.

You may have to implement a custom mail filter that looks for 

things like Uuencoded attachments, and then delete them. Tools like Anomy and MIMEDefang would probably be a good place to start.
