I remember McAfee ported their virus scanning program to Linux and it
was available for download in the same way as their Windows version,
binary only. I have a copy of it but it's two or three years old. If you
can get a newer version you could probably write a script that checks
for attachments, extracts (uudecodes or mimedecodes) and scans them.
Unless someone has a better idea?
