[techtalk] mail filter inquiry...

[Amy]

We had an e-mail filter that would scan all e-mail attachments
for viruses. The only trouble was, it would rename every .exe
attachment to .defang.  Having to explain to many clueless 
people how to rename the .exe files was just too much of a pain,
so we turned off the filter. Does anyone have any suggestions
for a mail filter that can scan for viruses/keywords in attachments
without renaming every executable file? We are running RH 6.1, BTW.
My knowledge of the mail server is budding at this point, I am the
assistant-in-training to the system admin.
