You are better off using something like scan4virus at the queue level.

While it is probably not advised, I am using it without the QMAILQUEUE
patch. Instead, the scan4virus program receives the mail, scans it, then
passes it to my renamed qmail-queue program.
Right now I deny all .vbs attachments. Yes, this is rather draconian and
there might be a 1 in 100,000,000,000,000 chance that someone really needs
to send a .vbs attachment. Those are the breaks...
