We are virus scanning email on our mail server with AMaViS
(http://www.amavis.org) and McAfee Virus Scan.
There are several ways to setup AMaViS depending on which MTA you are using
(sendmail, sendmail-milter, postfix, qmail, exim).
We setup our mail server to use Sendmail's Milter API, that way we didn't
need two sendmails running (one queues messages to be scanned, the other
delivers the messages).
We also applied a patch from furio ercolessi that corrects the email address
for messages sent by the Magistr virus (http://www.spin.it/furio/software/).
There are two versions of AMaViS (amavis-perl-11, amavisd 20010714), we
installed amavisd.
