I think virus scanners are in a different class, though. Mailing list software isn't designed to recognize viruses, while virus scanners are. It's disgustingly incompetent to recognize a mail as Sobig.F, which is known to fake the sender, and then reply to it anyway. (And yes, I get a lot of "notifications" that mention Sobig.F by name.)
