I've written an expansion of perlfilter-example.pl that does some real work
in checking for viruses and trojans in incoming mail.  While it's nowhere as
sophisticated as some of the commercial products which contain extensive
catalogs of virus binary signatures, it's a good first step and can be tuned
to detect the majority of viruses which currently make the rounds in email.

This is basically a pre-release version which I wrote because I needed the
filter for my customer services, and because I'm moving from qmail to
courier I had no equivalent of Jason Harr's qmail-scanner-queue.pl which
I've been using and which my customers have come to expect.  The final
version will have a Makefile-based install which will glean the current
Courier configuration from courier-config, rewrite the docs, the scripts,
etc., but I wanted to share this with others even if it's not as well
integratd with Courier as it eventually will be.  You can easily work it the
old Unix way by editing configuration options in the 1st page of the script.

You can get the work on this done so far at

Comments, suggestions and bug reports are welcome.
