I have Postfix divert our mail through McAfee SMTP Proxy, which is a crap 
smtp server but a decent virus scanner.  A lot cheaper than MimeSweeper 
or similar, though.

If you want to protect your windows destops from unsave downloads as 
well, viralator is very good (http://viralator.loddington.com/).  You use 
it in combination with a proxy server and url-redirector (they recommend 
Squid and Squirm, I use Squid and Jesred).  It diverts downloads of any 
type you specify onto a local webserver and runs a virus scanner before 
handing the file to the user.

There's a bug in the latest version, though.  I have a diff which fixes 
it.
