=> No. Other clever products are :
- amavisd-new
- MIMEDefang (providing you add some perl code)

I'm not sure but I seem to remember that Declude - a commercial solution
- supports it too : it's not configured by default but at least the
  feature does exist. I hope people using commercial solutions that
do not offer this are contacting their vendors to get this feature.
Sometimes you pay and don't even get things you can have for free :-)

=> Anybody using some SA rule to trash "virus notifications" coming from
other mailsystems on Internet ? It's a bit dangerous but I heard some
people are doing it to avoid their users (innocent people) to complain
 too much.
