I haven't had a chance to play with any of this yet, but I want to summarize and share the information I've been sent on both the MIMEDefang and HIED-EMAILADMIN lists.
I had expressed concern about Sophos withdrawing support for SAVI v4, while apparently no work had been done on Sophie in a decade. I received some encouraging pointers: - Sophos has a product called "SAV Dynamic Interface" (SAVDI) whose documentation claims it supports "the Sophie protocol" (among others). http://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/savi_dynamic_20_meng.pdf (Thanks to Scott Larnach and David Webb.) - Sophie 3.05 seems to actually work with SAVI v9. (Thanks to John Kalbach and Rick Kruze.) - A milter was created to replace Sophie when it was abandoned: http://www.j-chkmail.org/j-sophosd (Thanks to Jose-Marcio Martins da Cruz, who wrote it.) Some sites report simply blocking mail which contains dangerous attachment types, and bypassing most of the virus issue that way. Thanks, all!
