To add two cents: F-Secure Anti-Virus uses three scan engines including f-prot. We have it working with Declude. If you are looking for anti-virus in the corporate setting, put the Total Anti-Virus Suite on your short list. It is licensed by user which includes their home PC and is very reasonable cost. It also includes unlimited installs on servers; that would include your iMail server(s). Dan Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
