[gmx-developers] Mails rejected with "The message's content type was not explicitly allowed"

[Roland Schulz]

I agree with Szilard. This is very inconvenient. If we don't have the
time to install spam and virus scanners, I suggest we use a hosted
solution. E.g. we could use Google Apps and forward the mails to
mailman only after Google has scanned the incoming mails for spam and
viruses.
