no, but as someone pointed out, if you run an email server you should
install a viruschecker (to check the emails that is)

currently using sophos (www.sophos.com)
all emails passing our server goes through inflex
http://pldaniels.com/inflex/ (and inflex checks for viruses, then passes
them on to spamassassin)
