virus scan on cyrus mailboxes

[Per-Olov Sjöholm]

Yes. it works really well.

If you use it through milter you can use the build in clamav-milter or the 
third party smtp-vilter milter connector by Marc Balmer. I prefer the 
smtp-vilter as it seems more stable and also have more features. For example 
to also connect to spamassassin spamd and Symantec antivirus through ICAP and 
more. If you use smtp-vilter you do not have to rip up the mail twice with 
spam checking and then virus scanning. It's all done when the mail is "open".

Enjoy clamav. I love it.
