With MailScanner i use F-Prot. With amavis F-Prot and ClamAV.
(I don't think ClamAV is better that F-Prot).
Inbound Mails are about 20000 a day. Viruses that get caught by
MailScanner about 3000 a day.

Never tested, but good idea.

That are exceptions, e.g. user at domain wants to get viruses,
but don't want spam checks etc.

There was a thread 1 or 2 weeks ago about exceptions here.
Don't know the topic but it's unsolved and with amavisd-new
that problem would be solved.
