I think a good virus scanning package would be an increadible asset for
the qmail community. There are not many mailhubs which provide a virus
scan. Where I worked previously the virus scan package that we used with
Exchange went for $20,000.

Anyway, I'm a few months from delving heavily into virus scanning, but
am glad to see that there is already work being done.

Think of how well a virus free outsourced mail service would go over.
Viruses wreak havoc on corporate LANs.

Does this amavis catch macro viruses, is it updateable?
