 Hi again!
 
 Is there a way to scan POP3-traffic for viruses with a Linux box? 
 I'm thinking something like Norton's POP-proxy which ships with 
 Norton Anti-Virus. It works like a proxy server for 
 POP3-protocol, and scans all e-mail attachments for viruses. I 
 would like to do the same on my Linux firewall.

Not that I am aware of one. You could easily insert a program into the
chain that calls qmail-pop3d but you would have to write it yourself
(or pay someone to do it).

For scanning mails there several solutions on www.qmail.org, but they
don't act during POP access. Instead they intercept mails during queue
injection or delivery.
