Virus Scanner for sendmail/Linux

Anybody knows if there is any good virus scanning tools in Linux with
sendmail?
The tool should be able to detect the windows virus, and auto-unzip the
zipped files for scanning. And better always have an updated virus
definition for download. Any suggestion? Thank you very much!

Brgds,
Henry

net etiquette/Newsgroup tip:


If you want to send the same message to more than one NG, CROSSPOST!

Some will argue that you not even crosspost do to the amount/type
of newsgroups that we have today.

As an example to post to "comp.os.linux.security", and
"comp.os.linux.hardware", use the following Newsgroups line:
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.security,comp.os.linux.hardware

See http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html

That would be an interesting tool, indeed! I doubt
Bill Gates would appreciate you calling his OS a virus,
though.

Quite right. Windows is more propery termed "an API for virus authors"
or "the worm developers SDK"
