You might want to check out MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info) This is
a spam checker and allows you to add virus scanning to all inbound and
outbound mail. It also helps if your being hit with DoS mail-bombs. I use
it in conjunction with F-Prot and Clamav virus scanners. You can have more
than one virus scanner checking your mail (just in case.)
