I have been using Peter's new updated ClamAV filter with ClamAV and it has caught all the virus's so far. I know this, because we also have Norton Antivirus Corp. running behind the mail server and since I installed the email virus checker, the system does not find anymore virus's. We could be just getting the "mainstream" virus's and thats why it may seem to be catching everything, though.
During the Sobig and the Blaster problems, it caught all them and we were not affected. Anyways, overall, I am completely happy about the whole implementation.
