There is a free version of Trend Micro's virus scanner at:
ftp://ftp.antivirus.com/products/freetools/
You can download the latest pattern file and scan engine library for it from
their web site. I was able to use it to build trophie & virge found here:
http://www.vanja.com/tools/
Virge integrates with procmail to scan messages during mail delivery, though
I haven't actually deployed this yet. (Just started playing with it
yesterday) Trophie on its own will detect klez, hybris, etc even in mime
encoded files.
