Bug Description

Hi

I just downloaded mainman-2.1.2.tgz and when
extracting the files from the archive my virus scanner
(McAfee VirusScan(v7)) reported that the file nimda.txt
(mailman-2.1.2\tests\msgs\nimda.txt) contains a virus
(Exploit-MIME.gen).

Has anyone else had this problem?

The test suite contains a neutered virus sample. It is
completely harmless and it's unfortunate that your virus
scanner is tripping on it.
