Well, as stated before (by Peter Lindemann) it may depend on you filter script, not the scanner. I wrote such a script (as others did, like Peter Lindemann (again) and Lukas Frey ...) which works fine at our site. Infected messages get though it (on purpose) but with the attachment replaced by a message explaining what was found. This is for building awarenes among users. Since the filter is on, I get about 8 to 12 warnings every day even from our small setup of about 60 users. The script was designed for GNU/Linux with Perl (with MIME::Base64 from CPAN) and Clamav as the scan engine (can easily be replaced by what you prefer) - nothing more needed ! Simple installation along with high accuracy was the goal.
