ClamAV in combination with MailScanner.  While your at it, you might as
well run SpamAssassin.

MailScanner is fantastic as a mail policy enforcer.  If you use it this
way, then it will catch and trash all those *.scr, *.pif, etc.. files
that viruses try to pass onto to gullible Windows users. Even if the
virus is a new one.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
