ClamAV / Clam Anti Virus
Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways. It provides a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database updates .
I’ve been using this Anti Virus software for 6 years and works fine . The ClamAV colaborated with Qmail as mail server engine and ClamAV support the Qmail server with protecting the mail server againts Viruses , malware or trojan .
