    Hmmm? I would say both HTTP and (E)SMTP traffic need to be filtered.
    http://www.openantivirus.org/ has a squid plugin.

    Instead of amavis, I would recommend amavisd-new becuase it integrates
    virus scanning and spam checking into a single scan, and it is high
    performance, with a lot of flexibility.
