i use amavis(amavis.org) in combonation with Mcafee and
Sophos antivirus. been using it for over a year now and
it works quite well. it can be difficult to setup unless
your real famillar with perl and sendmail. it took me
several hours the first time. once its going though its
great. amavis is GPL the scanners of course are not :)
there are a couple free scanners available they are
not well supported as far as i know though. if your
interested ask on the amavis-user mailing list, im
sure people can help you(im on that list too). amavis
supports postfix/exim/qmail/sendmail. and it supports
about 8 different virus scanners currently.
