Hi Jona, I use CGatePro as my primary mail server and there are alternatives for virus protection for it.
There is a tool from a company I believe called Dr. Web that has a solution, but frankly I couldn't figure out their pricing. There is also a free tool written by someone at http://program.farit.ru/ (I forgot his name) that allows you to use a number of different scanning engines if you are on Linux with CGpro. This is what I am using along with the Kaspersky engtine (cost of about $55.00 per year, unlimited domains/users). It also works with a new open source (Linux) antivirus engine called ClamAV.
