I am a qmail fan.
At first I use rbls to block all known-exploited(able) ipaddress
Then thanks to qmail-qfilter I block all executable attachement.
I also block a *lot* of spam from antivirus vendors claiming "your
computer sent a virus" etc ( actually these emails are nastier than virii )
Then I use clamav ( I run clamd under supervise and wrote a small script
to run clamdscan under qmail-qfilter )
At last I run spamc ( from spamassassin ) from qmail-qfilter

Note than thanks to the qmail-qfilter mechanism there is _ no bounce
email _ generated by my server. Only a 553 or 554 smtp response sent to
the spammer / virus robot..

Be very careful to not setup a solution which will spam the internet
with non-sense email ( "the email you sent to xxxx contained the Netsky
virus.. " )!!
