(...) Well, regardless the message format in use (mbox, maildir, nmh...) you can configure (at server level) an imap/pop3 account for every user (e.g., "user+vi...@example.com") where to direct the malware that has been detected for that account. OTOH I would rather stick to the usual and well-known message formats like maildir or mbox unless I had any specific requirement for not using them. > I don't like clamav for several reasons, (...) Can you at least list "one"? :-) The only drawback I can mention is about its accuracy (when compared to another payware and bloatware anti-malware solutions), but for e-mail scanning or samba it does a nice job mainly because of its perfect integration within a linux environment. An AV solution in linux has to be seen as an additional defense for the windows boxes but not the only one, meaning windows users have to have their own anti-malware software properly setup and running, either locally of using a server based deployment.
