I haven't a clue what it costs, as it comes as part of the uiversity's
site licence, but I'm happy with exim+exiscan+ VirusScan
from McCaffe/Network Associates.
(VirusScan is a command line scanner for more than a handful of unix
platforms and uses the same engine and data files as their Windows
product. I haven't tried their mail-scanning product).
