I am running clamav attached to sendmail, seems to pick up viruses and some phishes...very easy to set up.
Adding clamav Firstly download and install the clamav packages with apt-get. clamav - Antivirus scanner for Unix clamav-base - Base package for clamav, an anti-virus utility for Unix clamav-daemon - Powerful Antivirus scanner daemon clamav-freshclam - Downloads clamav virus databases from the Internet clamav-milter - Fast antivirus scanner for sendmail clamav-testfiles - Use these files to test that your Antivirus program works libclamav1 - Virus scanner library libclamav1-dev - Clam Antivirus library development files Next insert the line below into /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and run sendmailconfig. In sendmailconfig say yes to rebuild sendmail using existing sendmail.conf and sendmail.mc, then restart sendmail. Clamav should now be active.
