I don't want to be redundant, but in a thread called "forwarding mails from mailbox to another address.."

Not only that milter can filter viruses in a "server-level", but moreover: it should not have the limitations of procmail, which cause it (for example) to fail to recognize viruses if their names are Hebrew (this is another thread that is running these days in the list). Is there anybody that can respond to the questions that I quoted?
