If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, a virus scanner should be the last line of defence in any given email scanning system. There are multiple ways to stop most infected emails before they ever even reach the virus scanner(s). No one should be wholly reliant upon a virus scanning solution to protect their email integrity. If people are having problems with infected emails slipping through, your parsing/scanning scripts are either misconfigured or just useless crap. There are a significant amount of other methods that will generally detect an infected email. Approximately 3.8% of infected emails ever reach the stage where the virus scanners I use get called into action, and Clam hasn't missed one of those yet. Check for other email exploits before checking for virii.
