I recently started using clamav, mainly because it's free. Can't say anything 
about effectivity and performance yet.

But I also don't expect to catch many viruses in email since we're running

mime_header_checks:
===
#/name\=\.*\.(com|exe|bat|cmd|pif|sh)\$/   REJECT
/^Content-(Disposition|Type).*name\s*=\s*?(.*\.(
ade|adp|bas|bat|chm|cmd|com|cpl|crt|dll|eml|exe|hlp|hta|
inf|ins|isp|js|jse|lnk|mdb|mde|mdt|mdw|msc|msi|msp|mst|nws|
ops|pcd|pif|prf|reg|scf|scr|sct|shb|shs|shm|swf|url|
vb|vbe|vbs|vbx|vxd|wsc|wsf|wsh))\?\s*$/REJECT Attachment name $2 
may not end with .$3


(activated by
mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks
in main.cf, of course)

anyway, so all of the recent trojans have been caught before they came to
the virus scanner. Word/Excel macro viruses seem to have declined, but for 
these you'll still need a virus scanner.

 You *did* see my original mail on that subject? You *did* look at the list
 of other more or less silly reasons that were posted already alongside some
 of the more serious ones? My-mailer-is-better-than-yours discussions are
 equal with my-OS-is-better-than-yours discussions or
 my-editor-is-better-than-yours flamefests. Those discussions will always
 (i) be very long and (ii) turn silly. I was hoping to avoid (i) by
 accelerating (ii).

 Well. It didn't work. Surprise.
