Yup.  Look into Amavis.  My workstation is still running the prelim that
was supposed to become a full blown viri scrubber...but the machine that
it was slated to run on got utilized elsewhere.

It works with a large variety of scanner software.  http://www.amavis.org/

I'm sure he got all of the bugs i worked through with him fixed in the
more recent releases...I havent had time to get back to it since it got
backburnered.

It was, relaly, a bear to get rolling off to begin with, but some of that
was with th ebugs that I found.;)

Do note you may have to make the usual allowances for linux based
software...;p

It /can/ be pretty resource intensive, but i'm scanning ~1000 emails a day
through my workstation with both the Norton scanner, as well as AntiVir
(pii 233, 128 megs of ram....and always got X, gnome, windowmaker, a few
netscape, and a slew of eterms running..its not an idle box by any
means..) and have not noticed a difference.

Good luck.

....david
