The new version of mailscanner can use one of 7 virus scanners including F-Prot which is free for linux users. The next release will be able to use these scanners simultaneously if you have them all installed. Some folks are concerned that when new viruses are found not all scanners are always updated at the same time.
I tried to deal with sophos but it was a total loss. They wanted over $1000 Cdn for me to use their software for my home server with a grand total of 3 (count 'em) users. Their pricing only considers large corporate users. They were actually better than those arrogant McAfee !@#$% who wouldn't even answer my calls!!! In any case, just this evening mailscanner found a virus on it's way to my wife's laptop.
