Yes, good points.

I'll second that.  My MTA has hooks to allow command-line scanning of incoming 
emails and I've used 
several over the years.  Sophos and F-Prot (both dos & 32-bit versions) were 
the best, but the 
processing overhead of starting up a dos box, running the exe and tidying it up 
afterwards, is 
significant - without considering the scanner itself.

(When an add-on to directly use the memory-resident clamd came last year, there 
was a dramatic 
speed up and drop in CPU and memory used.  There may be other modules out there 
from other A/V 
companies with similar functionality, but they will all have different APIs - 
and will cost.)
