Mail comes into the system and the pop3proxy caches them for your later
consideration when training. SpamBayes doesn't execute any of this code and
no other programs in your system should access them. Still, if this is an
issue for you, you should be running some sort of virus scanner on the front
end which scrubs viruses from email attachments before any other tool (like
Outlook, Thunderbird or SpamBayes) sees the message.
