Thing is, I use SA only to filter mail that I read on my Linux desktop, so there's no danger of a virus affecting me, so it seems like overkill to install a virus-filter. But I also need to put viruses somewhere other than my spam folder, so they don't polute my corpus when I run mass-check. So I have a set of custom rules to look for virus-like things, and sort them into a seperate virus folder. As for the zip-file viruses, I never receive zip files from anyone, so anything with an attachemnt of content type "application/*" gets marked as a virus. -- Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
