I recommend Mailwall. You use a standalone virus package with it. It does
much more than just virus scan.
Very nice interface, very configurable. Excellent support.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Anti Virus Software
Another problem with WebShield SMTP is with their Spam Anti-Relay. You
have to enter each one of your hosted domain names
"One-at-a-Time." Secondarily, the max is 64 domains. Unless the domain is
entered, it returns mail to it as 550 anti-relay. There is no
work-around. According to NAI tech support, don't turn it on. Instead,
put something in front of it to prevent spam relay. There might be an
improvement in the next release, though, which is scheduled for Q4 this
year.
