I agree with blocking attachments.
The sad fact is that if you just ban a user email address that sent a
virus to the mailing list, you may be banning an innocent person!
I have been seeing a LOT of 'virus removal' messages directed towards
my email address, saying that I sent an infected email to a person I
never even heard of. The sad fact is, many of these Outlook based
viruses forge the sender address using other addresses on the infected
computer. I have never used Outlook - all my email is read on either
Linux or Mac OS X. I don't even use Windows based email clients - maybe
Mozilla once in a blue moon.... those infected emails came from
someone who may have once received mail from me, who DOES run a virus
engine such as Outlook.....
