Consider this: http://help.rr.com/getpage.asp?/faqs/e_mgsp.html.  From what
I read, 80% of corporate mail servers now incorporate some form of virus
detection.

It would be nice if James had a matcher capable of virus detection.  I came
across this article http://online.securityfocus.com/infocus/1650, and the
associated OpenAV project at www.openantivirus.org.

Imagine my pleasure at finding that the official projects, ScannerDaemon,
VirusHammer and PatternFinder, are written in Java.  The project page
mentions GPL, but their SourceForge.net page mentions that it is also
licensed under BSD, so we'll just have to ask for clarification, and make
sure that we have some Open Source, non-GPL, license, as we've received from
other cooperative projects.

I think that this looks interesting, but I expect my own time to be consumed
on other parts of James.  Does someone else have the time and interest to
look at wrapping a Matcher around the OpenAV scanner classes?
