Although I don't believe it to be a panacea, checking on the fly would certainly help to combat the problem. It appears that most of the solutions offered, such as Amavis, provide an interface to commercial virus checking software, which seems like a pretty logical thing to do. However, a cursory look around the contenders reveals that most of the licensing of these products for email servers seem to be based on the number of mailboxes to protect. In our case the cost would be prohibitive. Is anyone aware of a FreeBSD compatible product that is either 'server based' or has special licensing for ISPs?
