Its not a virus scanner. It catches a couple of easy virus header
signatures and it looks for particular MIME types. It does *not* scan
content, look in attachments or look at more than the first few
kilobytes of the message. If you have a system vulnerable to viruses
then you should think of additional protection.
It does kill off most of the mail worms seen to date quite nicely.
