We already use sophie/sophos to scan mail passing through our mailhubs. However, messages can find their way into mailboxes via IMAP/POP if users copy messages from other systems. Those won't be picked up by the MTAs. > > I don't know how good it's MIME capabilities are. > > Quite good, actually.

MBX format is an indexed text format that includes the indexing information at the top of the file. Apart from additional headers to indicate message boundaries I think it's pretty much the same as standard unix format. I would think that any software that could handle the latter wrt demiming could also handle mbx.
