I assume you want to scan all incoming e-mail for viruses. You can create
a mail scanning system using shell scripts that scan all incoming files
before forwarding them to the mail server. Any command line virus scanner
that returns a value indicating if the file is infected or clean will
work. I use f-prot (free + very regular updates), but I hear that Network
Associates puts out a version of McAffee that you can use.
