You might want to try a server based spam/virus filter. At our company we use Sentinare PostGuard www.sentinare.com so that spam/viruses are trapped on the server level, so that they don't waste time/resources downloading and scanning garbage emails.
They have a easy web-based quarantine interface in case you need to rescue a message, but it's rare that you have to. They use SpamAssassian and some other filters to get really good accuracy, my account at work is 99.6% accurate. -Jason ===================Original message text=============== From: Leo Landa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, November 4, 2004, 3:58:12 PM Subject: PC-cillin and TB!

I have a Trend Micro Office Suite mandatory at work, including the laptop which runs The Bat (1.x) for my private mail. I receive a lot of spam, and some of it is virus-infected. The problem is, that when the Bat stores this virus attachment on disk, the OfficeScan pops up saying it's a virus. For some reason TheBat cannot continue operation (I guess because OfficeScan takes over the file for quarantine or smth), and the message is not deleted on the server. This means that every 5 minutes (my polling period) I get this message and have to delete the e-mail manually on the server. Plus, all our admins receive a virus warning. Hence, I have been asked to remove The Bat. Just my experience - those problems may be obsolete by now.
