SiteAdvisor says:

(http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/scipy.org)

"After entering our e-mail address on this site, we received 81 e-mails per 
week. We received 2 e-mails which contained a virus."

The scipy list maintainer says they're going to add virus scanning to the
mailing list, which should, in time, get the site a better rating.
