Initial Comment:
Hi,

I just found http://pop3vscan.sourceforge.net. It's a transparent 
virus scanning proxy for POP3 mail attachments. They are 
de-MIMEed and send to an external file virus scanner of your 
choice.
I'd love to see it in Devil Linux. AFIK it's the only way to battle mail 
viruses if your POP3 mailbox and mail server is outside of your DL 
firewalled net and only POP3 clients are inside.

Some features (exerpt from their web site):

No client configuration necessary: Because POP3VScan is a full 
transparent proxy nothing but the scanning-server has to be 
configured. 
Fast scanning: POP3VScan supports the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 
Daemon (kavd) and the Trophie Daemon (which uses the 
Trend-AV Engine). Using kavd a Pentium-133 was able to scan 
nearly 500 mails in just one minute! 
deMIMEing: Since most scanners doesn't support decoding of 
MIME-Messages we have to do, for high-speed we have it 
built-in (using ripmime). 
Flexible scanner-configuration: Almost every scanner can be 
configured easily. Just set the capabilities of your scanner, the 
exit-code it gives when a mail is found and make a regular- 
expression which tells how to extract the virusname. 
Notification: Instead of the virus we send a notification to the 
client, which can be customized using a template. 
Written in C ...which means that it's faster than using a 
script-language. 
It's free POP3VScan is released under the General Public License 
(GPL), which means that it's free to use and also the source is 
available.
