[OT] Handling Returned Virus Mail

[MisterX]

Isn't there a virus scanner proxy or plugin for your mail server?

what kind of server is it? Can you install software on it?

On the pc world, you have dozens of exchange, smpt gateway filtering proxies
and im sure there are for unix too... 

cheers
Xavier
