Just following this up, does ANYONE on this list use anti-virus software on their linux systems (excluding any filtering on email gateways and the like)?
On, yes. For, no.
Data passes through my unix boxen, some of it bound for M$ users - it's polite to try to scrub the malware off such data.
However, for people on Macs (excluding those with M$ software installed, which is still vulnerable to scripting/macro troubles) and other unixes can get everything raw. It doesn't matter if you try to execute an attachment :-)
One day this situation might change, however. So we might as well practice now with clamav/avg/whatever, and get into good habits.
