Adding virus scanning to a Qmail installation is fairly trivial. I have a
simple Perl script running that extracts and - if necessary unzips -
attachments and feeds them thru a standard commercial (non e-mail) scanner.
A simple condredirect makes infected messages and up in our 'zoo' mailbox.
The scanner's data files are automatically updated from the scanner maker's
FTP site. You can test the scanner (in moderation please) by sending mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .
