The list is run through a sanitizer of sorts.  While it doesn't detect and
remove viruses, it mangles the name of the attachement so that you cannot
"click" on it to open it and get infected.  A person would have to save the
attachment, then rename it to something that allows it to execute, then
execute it - to get infected.

So I think we're pretty safe if folks simply ignore and remove email that
has mangled attachments.

If we spend $$ we can purchase a sanitizer that will remove viruses.
