"Virus filtering" is matter of policy. I believe in restrictive
/content/ filtering (nothing that says "Microsoft" comes anywhere near
one of our remaining Wintendos, the content is diverted to a central
Linux sandbox running StarOffice) in connection with draconic punishment
for attempts at undermining this policy. Once you've fired the first one
or two people trying to open "some really neat PowerPoint slides my
girlfriend sent me from University" or "a rilly, rilly important Word
document from some K3wL info site in Romania", people will believe that
an AUP is not to be violated. Also, educate your users. Take an old box
and show them why MS software is dangerous.
One of these days, someone will build a shotgun API for qmfilt, and all
will be well.
