| Trouble is, the charter applies to humans.  Viruses don't read the charter
| before they send their messages.  Basically, I read the charter to say
| "don't deliberately send viruses/worms to the list".  The charter doesn't
| say anything about what will happen to automated attacks.

As I showed earlier, the charter does not allow for such mail at all.
The acceptable content part is very clear.

| Given that AV vendors tend to charge per user for their mail scanning
| products, it probably wouldn't be too financially viable for the list
owners
| (who graciously host the list for free) to implement scanning anyway.

There are quite a few free (and even GPL) fine scanning products out
there. A google search should help out with finding some.

Thank you for your civil reply, it is refreshing.
