The viruses that tend to go around email will only work under MS Outlook / OE.
As you can't run Outlook under Linux, you're quite safe from them; it's just an
annoyance.

If, however, you have a server which serves mail to Windows clients, then you
should look at getting some AV software installed.

I personally use Clam on the server I admin. Any mail that comes in, gets
passed through Clam, and then Spamassassin.
