Laurence,

Your message is appreciated.  As you say, it happens.  I've not felt the
need for virus checking.  I've trained bogofilter on a number of viruses
and it catches most of them.  When I set up postfix, procmail, and
bogofilter, I expected that all incoming mail would be scanned by
bogofilter.  Mail to osagesoftware.com _is_ being scanned, but mail to
bogofilter.org is not (confirmed by looking at mailman's held messages).
 Have you any idea why that might be?

Regards,

David

P.S.  I attempted to reply off-list, but the message was returned with
