ClamAV
Clam AntiVirus is an open source anti-virus toolkit designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. It provides a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database updates. The core of the package is an anti-virus engine available in a form of shared library.
Not too many years ago Email viruses were a nuisance that one had to deal with off and on. But nowadays each mail server usually gets hammered with a constant barrage of viruses. The most common being warnings about lost shipments or password resets. So every modern mail server should have reliable means in place to protect its users from viral attachments. This package can be installed in tandem with SpamAssassin or stand alone on its own.
