Kind of a delayed follow-up here, but I just got all the parts working (on a
RedHat
server, not SME) to run MIMEDefang as a sendmail milter with spamassassin and
clam antivirus as scanners. Clam is free and uses the openantivirus project's
virus database. It seems to be catching W32BugBear so it must be fairly up to
date. Mimedefang can also remove executable attachments even if they don't
match a virus.
The only tricky part about building this configuration was that it needs
sendmail 8.12.x and most of the RPMs I found wouldn't work on RH 7.3 for
one reason or another. Mine is running on a separate box that is the primary
MX and outbound internet relay for the domain, so mail among internal
users is not scanned. It might be possible to emulate this on an SMEserver
by binding sendmail to the outside IP address using the inside address
as its 'mailhub'.
