That's precisely why I have recently added scanning on the server that I
am managing for one of my clients.  The scanning on the workstations (
AVG ) wasn't always catching everything, and we went through an infection this
week.

I have also gone the ClamAV route, in a QMail environment, along with
QMail-Scanner.  I am also looking at Odieavir, for that "belt and
suspenders" solution.
