That's conceptually more in the MimeDefang / amavisd-new space. It still
requires an external AV scanner (either clamav, or something closed-source)
to do the actual AV scanning....

In the two sites where I've tried it, it was less accurate than amavisd-new
+ spamassassin + black / white lists. YMMV, o' course.
