Good point.

Check out http://www.MailScanner.info

Anti-virus (using ClamAV or about a dozen others)
Anti-spam (using SpamAssassin)
Filename checks
Filetype (content) checks
Really nicely configurable

By the way, no, you can't create a ClamAV signature to recognise filenames, 
because ClamAV looks at what's *in* the file, not what it's called.   
Clamscan will look at anything and tell you if it's a virus.   The filename 
is irrelevant.
