That's precisely why I have recently added scanning on the server that I am managing for one of my clients. The scanning on the workstations ( AVG ) wasn't always catching everything, and we went through an infection this week. I have also gone the ClamAV route, in a QMail environment, along with QMail-Scanner. I am also looking at Odieavir, for that "belt and suspenders" solution.
