Subject: [Exim] virusscanning for incoming mail
Hello

I've got a question about preventing viruses intruding an email system
running exim.
Does anybody know of a virusscanner that can be run on a Linux system that
acts as incoming/outgoing mail server ?
Also, I just had to delete the /var/spool/exim/input directory on a system
where the files contained the attachment "Emanuel.exe" which
apparently is a virus.

Is there a "good" way to clean the spool directory without upsetting exim
?
