Hello Michael,

We use Mcafee anti-virus for linux combined with 'exiscan' which plugs in
to our exim mailer - http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan/.

Wasn't too hard to set up and it has already caught quite a few viruses
without any noticable delay in mail transmission, but we only
receive a few hundred emails a day.

I remeber reading something in the 'ask Buffy' segment on ZDNet about this
very thing, but I can't find it at the moment.
