I should add clamav is a completely free product if you're looking to
save a little bit of money ... http://clamav.elektrapro.com/

A few people have mentioned amavis, amavis is not a virus scanner, it is
a program that facilitates virus scanning of email.  Email needs to have
all the mime parts pulled out and scanned separately.  Amavis pulls
things apart and relies on a separate anti-virus program to actually
scan those parts.
